SWaP challenges in the defence industry: How Smiths Interconnect rises to the challenge
The defence industry has exceptionally high connectivity demands, especially when it comes to size, weight and power (SWaP). Smiths Interconnect is an industry-leading provider of cutting-edge connectivity solutions to the defence sector for applications such as guidance systems, data links, manpack radios, radar systems (ground, air and shipboard), antenna systems and drones.
Fig.1
Smiths Interconnect’s broad range of connectivity solutions are specifically designed and engineered to meet the SWaP challenges of customers, by reducing overall system volume, weight and installation time/cost through innovative packaging.
According to Harold Aikins, Global Product Line Director, RF Fiber Optics and RF Components at Smiths Interconnect: “Our customers tend to demand higher and higher frequency, and they want things as small as possible. In order to do that, we address the customer’s needs by developing products across our portfolio to be much smaller in size and able to handle more power. We develop the diamond resistivity products by increasing power handling capabilities in addition to reducing size. No one uses the diamond resistive like Smiths interconnect does”.
“Another major product is the Planar X filters, which are reducing the size, specifically the height,” continues Aikins. “Traditionally, filters are the largest item on the PC board. Using printed filter technology, Smiths Interconnect can reduce size drastically with its Planar X Filters, whilst its ferrite range meets the demand for more power.”
While Smiths Interconnect supplies the defence industry with a broad range of connectivity solutions.
As the best thermal conductor on earth and with a low dielectric constant, diamond makes an excellent RF dielectric material for high-frequency applications, especially when thermal performance is critical. Utilizing a thin film process, Smiths Interconnect has created a high-performance line of diamond RF resistive terminations, Attenuators, and resistors.

Smiths Interconnect’s state-of-the-art RF Filters, including the Planar X filters range, are subject to rigorous design, manufacturing, and inspection criteria. The Planar X Series are board-level, ceramic-based RF Filters. Their small footprint, lightweight and surface mountable configuration make them ideal for high volume pick-and-place applications.

TSX Attenuators
The passive, surface mountable temperature variable attenuators require no bias or control and used in place of a standard chip attenuator to combine level setting/buffering and temperature compensation.

Isolators & Circulators
Microstrip, Surface Mount & Stripline Components
Utilized for a range of defense and space applications using a variety of interfaces, Smiths’ ability to design and produce all types of microstrip, surface mount and stripline components allows them to provide expert advice to each customer on the best product for each application.

Ferrites and Waveguides
Smith’s broad range of ferrite and waveguide products includes devices operating from 1.0 to 52.0GHz and includes isolators and circulators, combiners, transitions, and terminations. These products are designed for specific applications, such as the MW waveguide couplers, combiners, and splitters for defence radar applications.

Smiths Interconnect has been manufacturing coaxial isolators for more than 40 years. These coaxial isolators and circulators are designed to operate in assigned bands from 300 MHz to 31 GHz, and are available for a wide range of applications, such as the L-band high-power isolators and circulators, which are specifically designed for solid-state power amplifiers used for spacecraft communication, navigation, RadarSats and satellite payloads.

Smiths Interconnect and the defence industry
One of the most notable projects that highlights Smiths Interconnect’s microwave and RF components in the defence industry is the F-35 Lightning II, a single-engine multirole combat aircraft designed for superior air dominance, with electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
Connectivity solutions for the F-35 aircraft include high power circulators used on communications and navigation systems, high reliability attenuators for radar systems and discrete filters located in the CNI avionic systems. Smiths has been involved in the programme for 20 years and counting, supplying hundreds of interconnect devices, from RF components and high-speed connectors to integrated microwave assemblies.
