eHandbook: Passive RF Components

June 24, 2025
Without requiring input power, these basic building blocks go a long way toward shaping the functionality and performance of RF system designs.

In this eHandbook, Microwaves & RF offers some solid tutorials to help you get the most out of RF passives, an often overlooked, yet critical aspect of RF circuit design:

  • Choosing RF Switches for High-Power Applications
    Signal switching is critical in many RF applications, so it’s important for users to select the correct type of switch for their high-power apps.
  • 6 Types of Resonators Used Across the RF/Microwave Universe
    By examining different resonators, it is possible to determine how they can be implemented in component designs.
  • Power Dividers: Basic Tools Designers Can’t Live Without
    Upon first inspection, power dividers appear to be simple devices that require little knowledge on the part of designers. Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • High-Power SAW Filters Meet Demands of Modern Military, Space, and Commercial Systems
    Mitigating signal interference is increasingly critical in modern military, space, and commercial systems. Engineers must typically overcome three major design considerations to ensure their systems perform in today’s complex environments.
