As the technology behind capacitor banks advances with more precise switching and higher energy density, fast discharge capacitors can reliably support more advanced applications.

In radar systems, power amplifiers serve an essential role in transmitting signals that probe the environment of interest.

Our capacitors are used extensively in power supplies, inverters and communication systems for commercial and military aircraft and sea-going vessels.

SFSW series filters were designed to preserve signal integrity and ensure reliable operation in high-reliability applications with strict electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Supercapacitors feature unique characteristics that set them apart from traditional batteries in energy storage applications.

When considering capacitor selection for a given circuit, whether you’re focused on power electronics or deep in the world of RF, it’s important to remember that some of a capacitor’s fundamental roles are universal.

In this blog, we review some of the key wind power generation trends fueling the ability to provide increased capacity and driving changes in the power electronics required for these systems.

Capacitors play a key role in power conversion systems as they function to smooth and regulate power flow, protect against voltage surges and filter unwanted signals.

There are two main approaches to duplexing in modern systems. One leverages a circulator and a hybrid coupler. The other uses a single pole double throw switch (SPDT).

Here, we’ll dive into the jobs filters must perform in radar receivers.

In complex radio frequency (RF) applications, “wideband” has varying definitions depending on both the application of interest and the portion of the RF circuit you’re focused on.

To protect electrical grids from overloads and faults, utility companies can incorporate reclosers. When a fault occurs, this high-voltage circuit breaker automatically closes to isolate the faulty sections of the grid, allowing other areas of the grid to continue to operate safely.

Here, we’ll cover how Marx generators operate, recent advancements enhancing their efficiency and reliability and the critical role of capacitors in shaping their performance.

There are three main sectors within electronic warfare. Electronic attack (EA) focuses on acts designed to disrupt, degrade, destroy or deceive. Electronic protection (EP) seeks to diminish the effectiveness of adversarial EA systems.

Supercapacitors, also known as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), store energy electrostatically rather than via chemical reactions like traditional batteries.

Here, we’ll focus on a few trends we’re watching in PV, one of the most available and economical energy sources in many parts of the world.

Here, we’ll introduce radar, including its key functional units and technological evolution.

Plasma generation, heating and confinement all require extremely high current pulses, and capacitor banks excel at delivering them. Their ability to discharge stored energy in a rapid, controlled manner makes them ideal for plasma experiments.

Many electronics applications leverage capacitors to store energy and release it in a controlled pulse of current or voltage. Here, we’ll revisit how pulses are produced in a basic RLC circuit featuring a capacitor (C), inductor (L) and resistor (R).

Whether they serve a receive (e.g., low noise amplifier (LNA)) or transmit (e.g., power amplifier (PA)) function, MMIC amplifiers rely on bypass capacitors to perform their core function to amplify microwave signals.
