What we do
Aerospace RF products
Transmit and receive modules
Our transmit and receive modules (TRM’s) are traditionally used in electronically scanned radar systems. Transmit and receive modules provide amplification and electronic beam steering and can be applied in radar or communication systems requiring a steerable antenna. Our engineers have the experience and capability to design and manufacture our...
Front end modules
Front end modules are one of the most important parts of a RF System, Filtronic has extensive experience in creating high performance modules that are placed between the antenna and the digital baseband section of a wireless system. Front end modules are available in various configurations based on the...
Custom filters
Filtronic has extensive knowledge and expertise in the design, development and production of custom filters that dates back to 1977. Our custom filters products include metal cavity filters, ceramic, combline, interdigital, lumped element, suspended substrate, waveguide and thin-film filters. We are experts in filter topology, offering rapid prototyping and...
Switched filter banks
Switched Filter Banks consist of a combination of switches and filters integrated into a single module. Integrating filter and switch components in a single module eliminates transitions between circuits, providing for optimal matching. Filtronic devices improve overall performance, including better insertion loss, flatness and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)....
