At last week’s IMS2022, Smiths Interconnect launched its Planar X Series of thin-film bandpass filters designed for applications in harsh environments. The Planar X Series filters provide system engineers with a high-performance and compact solution for critical RF filtering in X, Ku, and Ka bands.
The Planar X Series leverages thin-film process technology on various substrates which are designed for mission-critical applications. The small-footprint, lightweight, and surface-mountable configuration allows for high-volume pick and place applications and is well suited for end products in the radar, SATCOM, and satellite industries. Planar X Series complements Smiths Interconnect's extensive portfolio of RF/Microwave components with an off-the-shelf product offering reduced lead times compared to custom-designed filters.
In addition to the standard products, Smiths Interconnect can provide custom Planar X filter designs to meet specific application requirements. Regardless of the application, Smiths Interconnect’s internal processes and procedures enable it provide filters that meet our customers’ specifications.
