Reduced Form Factor, High-Performance Switch Filter Banks

Many critical military operations around the world are increasingly relying on a variety of electronic warfare devices for a range of threat suppression, detection, and neutralization activities. Since there are numerous devices operating across the RF spectrum, it’s easy for any one of these devices to experience issues with interference if proper filtering techniques are not in place. To further complicate this scenario, many of these devices need to be used in increasingly smaller spaces such as aircrafts, ships, or tanks, making size, weight, and power (SWaP) a big concern.

In this microapp presentation, we highlight how we are working with Criteria Labs to address these challenges with a small wide-band tuner architecture that involves both shrinking the pre-select switch filter bank using our high K ceramics and Criteria Labs’ expertise to package the filter bank in a way that significantly reduces size.
