The extremely high frequency devices, capable of operating in the 7.5 to 9 GHz range, have been designated the Model UF9138 Series. This series operates as a bandpass filter which attenuates the unwanted signals and passes the desired signals.

"The new X-Band Cavity Filters add to our continually expanding proprietary product portfolio," said Dick Thompson, the company's Vice President of sales and marketing. "MtronPTI made a commitment to this business sector in March 2007 because we expect it to be a growth market for the company's products over the next ten years due to the launching of both commercial and military satellites for upgraded communications," he said.

Earlier in the year, MtronPTI announced it had active projects with 12 industry leaders involved with this sector including Northrop Grumman, Boeing Space Systems, L-3, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and others.

Technical Details

The new product series is capable of operating in the range of 7.5 to 9 GHz and can be configured with 5 to 10 pole design topologies, offering a wide range of attenuation performance. MtronPTI's proprietary temperature compensation technique ensures that this product line delivers less than 1 MHz of drift on an 8 GHz device operating over a temperature range of -35 degrees C to +85 degrees C.

The X-Band Cavity Filters are housed in a laser-welded, 2.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inch package with SMA connectors. They feature a highly symmetrical 3 dB passband of 300 MHz with low ripple and group delay variation.
