SWaP-Optimized/ Low ESR Capacitors

The US military continues to significantly increase its spending on directed energy weapons. These high-power microwave and laser technologies continue to demand more power in smaller sizes to fit on mobile land, sea and air-based platforms. The same holds true for advanced Radar and power management systems. When trying to “feed” these power-hungry products, the type of capacitor used will significantly impact performance, reliability, and size.
