Feature Article Title:

Tantalum Capacitors in 5G Infrastructure

Feature Article Summary:

This technical paper explores the critical role of tantalum capacitors in 5G telecom networks, highlighting their stability, reliability, and compact design advantages. It discusses use in GaN-based power amplifiers and why 5G’s demanding frequency and durability needs will sustain strong demand for tantalum capacitors despite past efforts to replace them in 4G systems.

Back To General Information
  • Author: Tantalum-Niobium International Study Center (T.I.C.)
  • The T.I.C. was established in response to concerns within the tantalum industry regarding the lack of useful information on tantalum source materials. The initial purpose of the T.I.C. was to spread information about tantalum and to promote the common interest and welfare of the producers, especially with public and private authorities, organisations and agencies. Since its foundation, the T.I.C. has grown to encompass niobium and all stages of the tantalum/niobium supply chains.

Advancing sustainability, technology, and industry collaboration since 1974.
