LC Resonators

3DGS LC resonators integrate High Q 3D inductors (Q>90) and capacitors (Q>200) as a single device for oscillators and timing circuits. Ultra-thin, these devices are easily incorporated into PLL IC packages and MCMs.

HIGH Q, LOW LOSS MICROWAVE LC RESONATORS

Microwave frequency LC resonators deliver High-Q performance in a small compact footprint with sub-1dB insertion loss and >20dB rejection. Our LC resonators consist of High-Q 3D inductors with Q>90 and High-Q 3D capacitors with Q>200 as a single device solution for oscillators and timing circuits. These ultra-thin devices integrate seamlessly within Synthesizer/PLL integrated circuit packages and multi-chip modules (MCM).

ROBUST DESIGNS

The monolithic package is very robust providing high resistance to shock and vibration. Applications include high stability microwave frequency voltage controlled oscillators(VCO) and clock functions for integrated circuits.

PACKAGING

Packaging options are customizable to the application. Common packaging interconnects include SMT, wire bonded, and gold stud bumped approaches.
