Filter Banks Implemented With Integrated Thin Film Resonators
From triquint.com
Filter banks composed of five or more bandpass filters fabricated on a single die have been demonstrated and are under continuing development. Such filters will find applications in multi-channel radios, spectrum analyzers, and in other frequency control applications. Fabrication of ladder bandpass filters requires that resonators be built at two or more frequencies for each filter. In the simplest form of the ladder filter, at least one frequency is needed for the series resonator and a lower frequency for the shunt resonator. This paper reports on a technique to fabricate multiple frequency resonators and experimental results for a simple five channel filter bank. Modern communications systems are becoming increasingly complex in frequency control requirements. The software radio is emerging as a concept to deal with a wide spread of spectrum allocations and modulation techniques. Filters are used in various locations in a wireless system architecture but most importantly at the front end locations nearest the antenna. This is for both the transmit and receive channels. Increased spectrum utilization and band crowding has brought out the need for high performance filtering to reduce the transmission of interference as well as protection from receiving undesired signals.
 


Products & Services
Active filters are electronic filers that use active components such as voltage amplifiers or operational amplifiers. The amplifier shapes and stabilizes the behavior of the filter, and serves as a buffer interface to the driven component.
Crystal filters are electronic filters that use monolithic crystals.
Passive filters are implemented using only passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors. These filters do not produce any amplification of the input signal.
RF filters and microwave filters are devices that pass or reject signals by frequency. Basic types include bandpass filters, band reject filters, low pass filters, and high pass filters.
RF diplexers are three-port frequency-dependent devices that may be used as a separator or a combiner of signals. RF duplexers allow a transmitter operating on one frequency and a receiver operating on a different frequency to share a common antenna with a minimum of interaction and degradation of the different RF signals.
