Components tap WLAN chip sets (excerpt) By Gina Roos / EE Times Driven by suppliers of wireless-LAN chip sets, passive-component manufacturers are developing innovative devices and technologies to meet the requirements for high-performance characteristics such as quality, or "Q," factor, equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and small packaging in the WLAN. Next-generation components for WLAN applications will most likely come in the form of antennas, integrated passive devices and module designs, many of them based on low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for high performance and small size. In many cases, passive-component suppliers are already ramping up production on low-pass and bandpass filters for WLAN applications that feature surface-mount packaging, low profiles and light weight. NIC Components' answer to a host of wireless applications is its wide range of low-ESR and high-Q NPO ceramic chip capacitors. Designed for high-speed, high-frequency applications such as Bluetooth and WLAN products, the NMC-L and NMC-M chip capacitors are available in a capacitance range of 0.5 to 150 pF. \| Performance Data NIC Components Corp. www.niccomp.com \| www.RFpassives.com \| www.lowESR.com
