Passive Plus Broadband Capacitors

Passive Plus Broadband Capacitor Premium Testing Capabilites.

Passive Plus (PPI) Broadband Capacitors are subjected to standard measurements (Capacitance, TCC, DWV), and extensive RF Characteristics testing. This guarantees every lot will meet or exceed expectations.

• RF Characteristics: Measurements of S-Parameters that yield Insertion Loss, Return Loss, and maximum insertion loss change in any 5 GHz interval on all Broadband Capacitor lots.

Beyond the standard testing, PPI conducts premium testing, which includes:

• DC Breakdown Voltage (VBR): Acceptance criteria from MIL-PRF-32535 and publications from CARTS (A. Teverosky, 2014).
• Reliability Metrics: Through hundreds of hours of HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) measurements and MLE (Maximum Likelihood Estimates) calculations, we can provide estimates for MTTF/BX% Lifetimes.

In addition, Passive Plus’ C.A.P. (Capacitor Application Program) allows engineers to insert capacitor requirements (Capacitance, Frequency) to produce S-Parameter data, ESR, Q & Impedance Charts, and datasheets according to the engineer’s specifications.

Always committed to producing the highest quality product on the market, Passive Plus maintains a fully equipped R&D and testing facility ensuring a wide range of superior RF, Microwave, and Broadband Components. Passive Plus works with requesting engineers to determine the best component for their applications.
