‘High-Performance Dielectric Resonators’
ESA project for the development and space assessment of high performance resonators based on dielectric technology (ESA Artes Advanced Technology, Contract 4000126886/19/NL/MM)
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the project is to develop and experimentally verify high performance ceramic resonators with a quality factor (QxF of at least 250,000). The target is to develop enabling technology for a new source of high Q dielectric resonators and to provide a 25% increase in Q factor with respect to currently available European resonator materials. Such ceramic resonators will be used in input and output multiplexers and filters in the frequency range from C- to Ka-band (3 ÷ 30 GHz).
