Exxelia expands its High-Performance Dielectric Resonators and Ferrites capabilities for Microwave Applications

Exxelia enlarges its Dielectric Resonators (DR) material and Ferrite offering for high-frequency applications.

New capabilities include the use of its latest E7000 material, which provides narrow bandwidths, temperature stability and high Q-factor together with advanced manufacturing skills such as the capability to deliver extremely small size, and complex ferrite designs.

 

Exxelia's E7000 series is a Ba-Mg-Ta based material that combines an ultra-high Q-factor and the possibility to get different temperature coefficients upon request. E7000 features the highest performance requested for space use in the frequency range from 5 to 32 GHz, and guarantees a Qxf up to > 250 000 at 10GHZ.

In addition, Exxelia is now able to support the most advanced RF designs with the delivery of complex geometries such as Y-shape ferrites for microwave switches or Toroidal designs for phase shifters applications. Those miniaturized and complex products may be as small as few mm only and benefit from exceptional quality, superior performance and low loss (ΔH) materials.

Exxelia is a unique manufacturer producing its own raw materials for Ferrites and Dielectrics with proprietary formulations for use in the most demanding environments.

 

Nicolas Dabadie, Microwave Materials business development manager at Exxelia said: "We are pleased to support our customers’ more and more complex designs and demanding applications. Our unique capability to master the manufacturing from raw materials to high-end finished products opens the way to new solutions for microwave applications going from few MHz to 40GHz".

 

 

E7000 SERIES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS :

  • Dielectric constant : 24
  • Q x f Factor (GHz) : 250000
  • Frequency : Min : 5900 MHz / Max : 37150 MHz
  • Custom shapes available : disk, cylinder, square etc…
  • Typical Q factor: 25000 at 10 GHz

Ferrite materials are used in microwave devices such as isolators, circulators, diplexers, filters and phase shifters. They have dielectric and magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic ions such as iron within the composition. Exxelia also offers a wide range of dielectric resonators series, including coaxial resonators in different sizes.

July 14: When our components take flight aboard iconic aircraft

The Rafale, flagship of French aviation The Rafale, a French multipurpose combat aircraft, is a symbol of air power. Exxelia is proud to be the preferred supplier of electronic components for this exceptional aircraft. Thanks to our expertise in high-performance components, the Rafale is able to deploy its maximum power during critical missions. Whether in the air or on the ground, Exxelia components guarantee the reliability and exceptional performance of the Rafale. Exxelia is onboard with Film & Tantalum capacitors, Ceramic capacitors, High voltage capacitor block, Electrolytic aluminum capacitors, Magnetic components, Slip Rings & potentiometers, Miniature filters & Resistors.     The Alpha Jet, ambassador of French excellence The Alpha Jet, an advanced training aircraft used by several air forces around the world, is another example of aircraft that carry Exxelia components. With its maneuverability and versatility, the Alpha Jet is a preferred choice for pilot training and reconnaissance missions. Exxelia contributes to the reliability of this aircraft by supplying state-of-the-art electronic components for aeronautics, thus guaranteeing its proper functioning and safety. Our miniature capacitors with a high capacitance value from the CNC series range equip the Aphajet https://exxelia.com/en/product/detail/2/cnc-series     The F-16, international cooperation When we talk about the national holiday of July 14, it is also important to highlight the international partnerships that strengthen our aeronautical industry. The F-16, a multipurpose combat aircraft developed in collaboration with the United States, is a striking example of this cooperation. Exxelia supplies essential components for the F-16, thus contributing to the success of this strategic alliance.     The Tiger Helicopter: Air Force in Action The Tiger helicopter embodies the power and versatility of combat helicopters. Whether for reconnaissance, fire support or anti-tank missions, the Tiger is a reference in terms of operational performance. Exxelia contributes to the reliability of this aircraft by supplying state-of-the-art electronic components for defense.     The A400M, a giant of the air The A400M multipurpose military transporter is another aircraft that proudly incorporates Exxelia components. Designed for tactical, strategic and logistical transport missions, the A400M is a major asset for air forces. We equip the engine control & monitoring unit (EPMU), but also the MTU Aeroengines with our PET PM 90R2 47uF 20% 200V polyester film capacitors and the ICM Interconnection module - Transient filter design with C Series C48K high voltage ceramic capacitors (C480YCW 10nF 10% 500V - C280YCW 100nF 10% 500V).                 Custom design film : optimized characteristics and integration  SPT1221W 300nF 10% 630V (SMD)  SP2983W 100uF 5% 500V               SP3012W 4,7uF 10% 500V (THT) 

Larger Batches of High Q-Factor Dielectric Resonators

Dielectric resonators are designed to replace resonant cavities in microwave functions such as filters and oscillators. Exxelia with the support of ESA and CNES developed the E7000 series that provides a narrow bandwidth with smaller size. E7000 is Ba-Mg-Ta materials based that combines an ultra-high Q-factor and the possibility to get all the temperature coefficients upon request. E7000 features the high-performance requested for space use in the frequency range from 5 to 32 GHz, and guarantees up to Qxf > 250 000 at 10GHZ. Being one of the few manufacturers producing its own raw materials, Exxelia perfectly masters the production of dielectric resonators. Induced by the success of this new range, the company is now able to provide larger batches (up to 20kg of powder) of its E7000 series while keeping the exact same product properties, resulting in opportunities for cost-effective volume fabrication. Typical applications for the E7000 series: Satellite multiplexing filter devices, radio links for communication systems (LMDS), military radars.
