Small cell filters
<6GHz
Compact, low weight, high performance for small cells
With the lower power of small cell products, the main drivers to a successful product are compact size, low weight and both high performance and efficiency. The filter has a significant impact on all of these drivers, so it is important to consider these in the technology and design approach of the filters.
Small cells are ideal for high bandwidth concentrated services, especially in the higher frequency ranges including microwave and millimeter wave, due to their smaller form and limited footprint. With the emergence of 5G, small cells are expected to play much bigger role in a wireless network. A Small Cell Filter is one of the major components of the small cell. With the lower power of small cell products, the main drivers to a successful product are compact size, low weight and both high performance and efficiency. The filter has a significant impact on all of these drivers, so it is important to consider these in the technology and design approach of the filters.

Product description
With the lower power of small cell products, the main drivers to a successful product are compact size, low weight and both high performance and efficiency.
The filter is one of the major components of the small cell and has a significant impact on all of these drivers, so it is important to consider these in the technology and design approach of the filters.
Filtronic is able to call upon years of experience in these areas in order to provide class leading designs to a number of OEM vendors. Technologies used include thin wall filters, use of different materials eg magnesium to reduce weight, mixed mode filters and advanced ceramics.
We are experts in solving complex filter challenges, such as narrow guard band, tight rejection specs or close-to-the-pass band. We understand filter topology and can work with the perfect technology for each challenge, while offering rapid prototyping and reduced development cycles.
