Find The Right Channels With Switch Filter Banks

Switches and filters are electronic components used in many RF/microwave systems, such as transmitters and receivers. Each provides functionality to aid high-frequency systems, but the functions can also be combined into switch filter banks to save size, weight, and power when miniaturizing a system. For the best results when using switch filter banks, system designers and integrators need to understand how a switch filter bank differs from the separate components. They also need to be familiar with the different parameters to consider when specifying a switch filter bank for different applications. This white paper will take a closer look at switch filter banks and some of the benefits they can provide when properly fitted into a high-frequency system.
