Unparalleled performance in E-Band communications

Our next-generation Hades X2 E-Band active diplexers are designed to reduce the cost of E-band radios while enhancing performance. They offer improved strength, weight, and power (SWaP), with Tx saturated powers of over +30dBm.

Filtronic’s Hades Active Diplexers incorporate a configurable range of GaAs PAs and LNAs within an E-Band diplexer and can be used with a variety of COTS SMT-compatible packaged GaAs or SiGe up and down converter solutions, boosting performance beyond that of surface mount products. This enables our customers to deploy configurable “standard power” and “high-power” E-Band links without changing the radio mechanics.

The solution

• These active diplexers integrate a configurable range of GaAs power amplifiers (PAs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs).
• The module incorporates a Tx RF power detector, enabling seamless Tx power calibration and Automatic Level Control (ALC).

The result

• Performance improvements delivering a typical PSAT of 30dBm, setting a new benchmark in performance.
• Delivering maximum performance in a compact and lightweight form factor.
• With integrated temperature sensor, for accurate amplifier temperature data ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

The challenge

• Designed to empower customers with cost-effective E-Band radio solutions without compromising on performance.
• One of the key features of the HADES X2 is its flexibility and compatibility with both “standard power” and “high-power” E-Band links.
