This webinar is organized by Microwave Journal and sponsored by Smiths Interconnect and RFMW.

RF filters are essential components of signal conditioning in radar and communication systems. They reduce interference during reception and eliminate harmonics during transmission. In configurations such as diplexers, they protect the receiver from the transmitter’s high power.

In this webinar, we will explore the main filter topologies and the strengths and limitations of each to understand how to choose the most suitable solution based on specific requirements. We will also present a tool capable of automatically identifying the most appropriate topology and share a proven methodology for quickly developing rugged, reliable filters for military, aerospace, and space applications.

Key Takeaways:

• An overview of RF filter topologies and practical selection criteria.
• The pros and cons of the main architectures, based on specifications and constraints
• A tool for automatically selecting the best topology based on requirements
• A "tried and true" approach for rapid prototyping and reliability in harsh environments
