Murata Electronics Announces Launch Of HPP RF Capacitor Series;
    Application Specific Capacitor Offers Increased RF Power to Meet Market
Demands
    3/26/2002  
  SMYRNA, Ga., Mar 26, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Murata Electronics North America
  (www.murata-dot-com), a world-leading innovator in electronics, today
announced the launch of its new
  HPP (High Performance RF Power) Capacitor Series. 

  Based on new design and manufacturing processes, this product line
satisfies industry needs for RF
  Power capacitors by expanding the capacitance ranges and voltage ratings
with lower ESR and
  self-heating characteristics. This is particularly significant for
applications in medical imaging,
  semiconductor processing, radar and communication systems and other
related industries. 

 The series was developed in response to the high value capital equipment
market for processing
 semiconductor wafers that uses high RF power electronics. This is
particularly attractive to design
 engineers, as they are required to increase power in their new systems.
Circuit applications include
 bypass, coupling, tuning, impedance matching and D.C. blocking. 



Hmm... high power, low esr, RF capactors?  I can think of some other uses
for them....
