Switched Filter Banks

Switched Filter Banks typically include multiple filter topologies, including PIN diode and MMIC switch sub-circuits to achieve operational bandwidths of greater than 3 octaves. Pin Diode Based Switched Filter Banks provide the highest level of signal isolation, higher operating power levels, and lower insertion loss and achieve switching speeds of < 40 nanoseconds. GaAs MMIC Based Switched Filter Banks provide switching times as low as 10 nanoseconds with very low power consumption and have the inherent advantage of supporting multi-octave frequency bands with extremely low power consumption.  

Synthesizers

Offering synthesizer architectures supporting operating frequencies from 0.1 to 40 GHz. Our direct analog and digital designs feature fast switching speed of less than 100 nanoseconds and ultra-low phase noise. Our wideband indirect synthesizer designs support your requirements for smaller size and lower power consumption and offer typical switching speed of less than 500 microseconds. Composite architecture designs (Direct and Indirect Synthesis) are also available to optimize phase noise, switching speed, size and power consumption. 

Up/Down Frequency Converters

Smith Interconnect's frequency converters provide frequency translation of the input signal to a desired output frequency. They support up and down frequency translations with either fixed local oscillators (block converters), or tunable local oscillators (agile converters). Its design supports frequency bands from 0.1 to 40 GHz. Contact our product experts to discuss your specific system requirements and custom configurations to meet your needs.
