This is the third installment in our RF Components for Radar series. Here, we’ll focus on a particular form of filtering technology: switch filter banks.

Designing Agile Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers with Nimble RF Components

Today, modern radar systems are expected to serve in a multi-mission capacity. For example, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter uses a multi-function array, where the radar active electronically scanned array (AESA) in the aircraft nose cone is shared between the electronic warfare (EW) and communications systems.

Tunable bandwidth is becoming more and more desirable. Designers need to be able to balance radar range and resolution and optimize performance across missions. Further, these systems need to operate reliably in a congested spectrum where there are many blockers.

In RF communications systems, unwanted input signals, otherwise known as blockers, directly or indirectly degrade the gain and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal of interest. Blockers take the form of intentional and unintentional interference. Other RF communications systems operating in the adjacent frequency spectrum can cause unintentional interference, but so can malicious EW systems.

Agile RF receivers can be optimized moment-to-moment to adjust to evolving parameters. This level of control is accomplished using fully digital receivers with analog filter protection to evade blockers and prevent receiver damage. Nimble analog RF components, like switch filter banks, are critical to accomplish this level of optimization.

Switch filter banks are traditionally associated with larger footprints, but KNOWLES Precision Devices is leveraging materials science innovations to shrink the size of each individual filter. We use high-precision lithographic processes to pattern microstrip filters on our custom ceramics, and we develop low-loss, temperature-stable dielectrics that allow us to significantly reduce filter form factors (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Relative DLI brand filter size with materials breakdown.

From there, our custom engineering team uses these miniature filters to create state-of-the-art multi-band filter structures that enable tiny switch filter banks.

Beyond miniaturizing filter components, there’s an opportunity to innovate around packaging. In partnership with Criteria Labs, we’ve established a small but reliable packaging concept for switch filter banks (Figure 2). With consideration for input size and how narrow the output needs to be, a designer has room for more channels.

Figure 2. Knowles Precision Devices and Criteria Labs collaborated on a design to shrink a four-channel switch filter bank.

The design, based on a four-channel filter bank, features a 3D-stacked structure with alternating filters and interposer boards mounted directly to the printed circuit board (PCB). The result is a reduction in internal spacing that ultimately reduces the size of the filter bank.

Knowles Precision Devices produces a wide variety of high-reliability components for use in leading military programs.

Planar Filters Continue to Advance

Along with waveguide, the humble microstrip filter, even though it originated at least 75 years ago, continues to demonstrate its capabilities and is likely to maintain its importance as commercial and defense systems move into higher regions of the spectrum. They will achieve this in the face of competition from more modern technologies because they are smaller than all other filter topologies, surpassed only by MEMS filters that have just recently entered the marketplace.
