RF & Microwave Passive Multi-function Assemblies (MFA) for Space and Defense

Passive RF systems which employ a series of independent components require that each is specified individually with care taken to ensure that together these operate as desired with attention paid to the electrical inter-dependencies and mechanical detail which can lead to additional cost, mass and sub-optimal performance. This approach is typically one that is used on small volume applications as found in the space and defense industries. 

The objective of this webinar is to share the concept of passive MFAs, with examples provided that incorporate such functions as transitions, RF filters, ferrite isolators, non-directional couplers and high-power terminations. It will illustrate the advantages and the pitfalls that can readily be avoided and will offer an understanding of the trade-offs and benefits of MFAs in the defense and space industries.
