Exxelia, a global leader in high-performance electronic components and subsystems designed for extreme environments, has announced the expansion of its Dielectric Resonators (DR) material and Ferrite offering for high-frequency applications. The company now offers new capabilities, including the utilization of its latest E7000 material, which provides narrow bandwidths, temperature stability, and high Q-factor, along with advanced manufacturing skills enabling the delivery of extremely small size and complex ferrite designs.
The E7000 series from Exxelia is a Ba-Mg-Ta based material that combines an ultra-high Q-factor with the ability to provide different temperature coefficients upon request. Specifically developed for space use, the E7000 series ensures exceptional performance in the frequency range of 5 to 32 GHz, guaranteeing a Qxf of up to >250,000 at 10GHz.
Moreover, Exxelia has further enhanced its capability to support advanced RF designs by offering the delivery of complex geometries, such as Y-shape ferrites for microwave switches and Toroidal designs for phase shifter applications. These miniaturized and intricate products can be as small as a few millimeters and benefit from exceptional quality, superior performance, and low loss (ΔH) materials. Exxelia distinguishes itself as a unique manufacturer by producing its own raw materials for Ferrites and Dielectrics, utilizing proprietary formulations for deployment in the most demanding environments.
Nicolas Dabadie, Microwave Materials Business Development Manager at Exxelia, expressed his satisfaction in supporting customers’ increasingly complex designs and demanding applications. He stated, “Our unique capability to master the manufacturing process from raw materials to high-end finished products opens the way to new solutions for microwave applications ranging from a few megahertz to 40GHz.”
Technical specifications for the E7000 series include a dielectric constant of 24, a Q x f Factor (GHz) of 250,000, and a frequency range of 5900 MHz to 37150 MHz. Custom shapes are also available, including disk, cylinder, and square, among others. Typical Q factors reach 25,000 at 10 GHz.
Ferrite materials play a crucial role in microwave devices such as isolators, circulators, diplexers, filters, and phase shifters. These materials exhibit dielectric and magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic ions, such as iron, in their composition. Exxelia also offers a wide range of dielectric resonators series, including coaxial resonators in various sizes. Additional details can be obtained by contacting the company directly.
