Novel ceramic cuts resonator size and
cost
A new ceramic material provides the same quality and performance as previous generations of resonators, but in smaller cavities and at lower cost.
Temex has a new range of ceramics for low-frequency resonator applications from 900MHz to 6GHz The E6000 series uses a new Temex-developed material that provides the same quality and performance as previous resonators, but in smaller cavities and at lower cost

SAW oscillators run up to 2GHz
The new QES211 series extends the frequency range of Temex voltage controlled SAW oscillators to 2.0GHz, bringing the size and cost advantages of SAW technology to a wider range of applications.
The E6000 family is aimed at applications such as low noise block convertors for direct broadcast satellite systems, motion/speed radar detectors, dielectric resonant oscillators (DROs) for communication equipment, and microwave filters and sources.
Its new microwave material increases the relative permittivity to around 45 while maintaining a high Q factor for stable DRO designs.
The family therefore offers low-frequency systems the quality and performance previously only available to top-end designs.
Space requirements are typically 25% less in 5GHz systems, which not only reduces the cost of the resonator (due to savings in the quantity of powder used), but also shrinks the size of the cavity required and hence lowers overall system cost.
E6000 series materials are available in a wide selection of temperature coefficients, all manufactured to tight frequency tolerances.
Initially there are seven variants, with temperature coefficients of -6, -3, 0, +3, +6, +9 and +12ppm/C, all offering a Q factor of 8000 at 5GHz.
