Model FB010BW16SG, a compact bandpass filter bank from ED2 Corp., divides the frequency span from 2 to 18 GHz into eight banks, each of which spans 2-GHz bandwidth, while providing high rejection of signals outside its bank. Internally matched to 50 Ω, the eight-way filter bank is supplied in a 9- × 9-mm, 10-pin LGA surface-mount-technology (SMT) package offering reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) benefits.
The filter bank serves in applications such as communication modules, electronic-warfare (EW) systems, signal-intelligence (SIGINT) systems, and radar warning receivers (RWRs) in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The broadband filter bank (see image above) handles as much as 1 W (+30 dBm) input power across the full bandwidth, with typically 4-dB insertion loss per channel and better than 12-dB return loss per channel. It draws 15 mA current from a ±5-V DC supply and features an operating temperature range of –40 to +85°C.
