Knowles Corporation’s new inductors are designed for minimal signal loss and high reliability in medical, defense, and industrial markets.
ITASCA, Ill.—Knowles Corporation, a manufacturer of specialty electronic components, recently introduced new inductors that are designed to optimize RF efficiency and signal integrity across mission-critical applications in medical, defense, and industrial sectors, the company said in a release.
Knowles manufactures components such as high-performance capacitors, radio frequency (RF) filters, advanced medical technology microphones, and balanced armature speakers. Its new High-Q Ceramic Core Inductors are designed for minimal signal loss and high reliability.
“This launch marks a strategic expansion of Knowles’ Ceramic Capacitors portfolio into adjacent technologies, leveraging our core expertise in advanced materials,” said Knowles Vice President of Ceramic Capacitors Amrita Khemchandani, in the release. “In mission-critical electronic circuits, inductors often work alongside the high-performance capacitors we already supply. By adding inductors to our passive components lineup, we simplify circuit design and empower our customers with greater insight into the applications where these components are essential.”
Engineered for reduced signal loss, the new inductors are reported to deliver high energy efficiency and consistent inductance across a broad frequency range. This performance enables engineers to maintain signal integrity and elevate overall system efficiency in high-frequency designs, according to the company.
“Engineers working on high-frequency applications know that every fraction of a decibel in signal loss can impact performance,” said Knowles Director of Product Management Victor Lu, in the release. “We’ve drawn on our deep expertise in ceramic materials and RF components to develop high-performance inductors that minimize energy loss while providing the performance and reliability our customers require.”
The high performance inductors are designed to endure rigorous operational environments, making them well-suited for mission-critical applications. Their high self-resonance frequency (SRF) ensures excellent performance at higher frequency ranges, the company said.
“In markets like medical imaging and defense, where system performance and reliability are non-negotiable, these characteristics drive better outcomes including sharper diagnostic images, clearer signals, and more reliable systems,” the release stated.
