GENERAL DESCRIPTION
KYOCERA AVX 800 A Series offers superb performance in
demanding high RF power applications requiring consistent
and reliable operation. The combination of highly conductive
metal electrode systems, optimized case geometries, and
proprietary dielectrics, yields the lowest ESR. KYOCERA AVX
new NPO low loss rugged dielectrics are designed to provide
superior heat transfer in high RF power applications. Ultra-
low ESR and superior thermal performance insure that the
800 A Series products are your best choice for high RF power
applications from UHF through microwave frequencies.
Typical applications: UHF and Microwave Communications
Systems, Wireless Communications, Public Safety Radio,
Telecom, WiMAX, and Satellite Systems.
