A common measure of the attenuation characteristics is the self-resonant frequency (SRF). A second factor to consider in applications operating at high frequencies is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. The ESR causes power loss in the circuit roughly proportional to the ESR value.
The GQM/GJM high-frequency ceramic capacitors are the best choice for high performance and high power RF designs requiring voltages up to 500V DC. These capacitors offer EIA sizes 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, and the 1111 size with a capacitance range of 0.1pF to 100pF.
These Murata High-Frequency Ceramic Capacitors feature low power consumption for mobile telecommunications, the GQM and GJM capacitors come with copper electrodes that allow for ultra-low ESR, high Q in the GHz frequencies, and high RF current handling capability.
Since Q is inversely proportional to ESR, lower ESR at high frequencies will have higher Q at high frequencies. Therefore, higher Q capacitors are preferred by RF designers for high-frequency applications. Q is also related to Dissipation Factor, as seen in the equation below.
Q or quality factor represents the efficiency of a capacitor. It is the ratio of energy stored in a capacitor to the energy dissipated as thermal losses due to the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and I2R losses. Higher ESR can cause excessive heating in the capacitor at higher frequencies beyond its max allowable power dissipation.
Even when used within the capacitor's maximum operating temperature, these capacitors may require a reduced voltage to maintain reliability. However, KEMET ceramic capacitors are designed and qualified to operate at full-rated temperature and voltage.
