Filtronic have extensive experience of designing and manufacturing switched filter banks. Our designs are optimised to minimise switching times with very low power consumption.
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.
Switched filter banks key facts
- Compact, with low power consumption
- Improve overall performance
- Better insertion loss, flatness and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)
Switched filter banks features
- High Isolation (>90 dB)
- Fast Switching Speeds (<25 ns)
- High Power
- In-house Filter & Switch Design
- Multiple Control Interfaces

Product description
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). With all components integrated into a single module, our switched filter banks are compact and save a considerable amount of board space. Our expertise in system integration enables reductions in component size, improved reliability, and improved overall system performance.
We have extensive experience of designing, manufacturing and testing a range of switched filter banks using a variety of topologies, usually to our customers specification. Filter topologies include cavity, lumped element, ceramic and suspended substrate. Our Switched Filter Bank designs offer high isolation, fast switching speeds , high power and multiple control interfaces. The Filtronic engineering team has over 200 years combined experience in microwave and millimetre wave design, with in-house filter and switch design. They are able to work with our customers to select the perfect filter, optimising based on system performance and criteria.
