Murata Electronics North America recently introduced the GQM22 series, a 500 volt-rated, high Q monolithic ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with base metal electrodes. Ideal for high frequency applications such as power amplifiers for base stations, the advanced capacitor also provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR).Developed using Murata’s new base metals technology and superior co-fired ceramic materials, the GQM22 series eliminates problems normally associated with base metal electrodes while providing improved features. The new capacitor does not require characteristic adjustments, an issue common with other base metal electrode high voltage capacitors, yet it offers a 40 percent improvement in Q at 1Mhz compared to general-purpose medium and high voltage capacitors.
