Product categories

Four product families, one specification process

Pick a standard part from the catalog, or start from your own requirements. Either way the starting point is your frequency plan.

Custom engineering

Start from what you have

A full specification isn't required. Frequency plan, a reference part number, a mechanical drawing or a rough set of targets is enough to begin a review.

Bring your specification

Passband, rejection template, insertion-loss and VSWR limits, power level, connector or footprint, temperature range.

Technology matched to the job

Cavity and interdigital where low loss and higher power matter; LC, ceramic, LTCC, SAW or BAW where board space dominates. Feasibility is confirmed during review.

Beyond a single filter

Diplexers, multiplexers, switched filter banks and filter-amplifier assemblies built from the same specification.

How a custom project runs

Technical considerations

What decides a filter specification

These are the trade-offs we review first with any requirement.

Insertion loss vs. selectivity

Steeper skirts need more resonators, which adds loss. Give the loss budget and the rejection frequencies together.

Stopband and spurious regions

State the frequencies and levels to be rejected, including harmonics. Wide stopbands often decide the topology.

Return loss / VSWR

In-band match matters in cascaded chains and ahead of active stages. Specify a maximum across the whole passband.

Power handling

CW or peak, and at what temperature. Power level strongly influences technology choice and size.

Temperature and environment

Passband drift over temperature, shock and vibration depend on materials and construction. State the range and any environmental requirements early.

Size and interface

SMT footprint or connector type, outline limits and weight constrain the design as much as the electrical targets.

Workflow

From requirements to production

  1. Requirements review

    Electrical, mechanical and interface requirements are checked against each other and conflicts are raised early.

  2. Topology selection and design

    Technology and filter order chosen to meet the template within the mechanical limits.

  3. Simulation, where applicable

    Circuit or EM simulation to predict the response before hardware is built.

  4. Prototype

    A prototype built to the proposed design for measurement.

  5. RF measurement and validation

    Measured response compared with the agreed specification. Environmental or mechanical qualification is scoped per project.

  6. Production and quality control

    Production within the company's AS9100 quality system, with checks defined for the project.

Applications

Where these filters are used

Typical uses for the filter types in our catalog. This is a list of applications, not a customer list.

Radar and electronic warfare

Preselection, harmonic and image rejection, band separation in receivers and transmitters.

Radio and communication links

Transmit harmonic suppression, receive band selection, diplexing of transmit and receive paths.

Cellular and wireless infrastructure

Band filtering for repeater and distributed-antenna paths, in SAW and BAW formats.

Satellite and navigation

S-band, BeiDou and adjacent-band filtering for receivers and terminals.

Test and instrumentation

Broadband low-pass and high-pass filtering, and band splitting with wide-range diplexers.

ISM and general wireless

Compact SMT band-pass filters for ISM bands such as 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz.

About Nexis

An RF filter company working from your specification

Nexis Microwave supplies RF and microwave filters, diplexers and multiplexers, and filter-amplifier assemblies. The catalog on this site has 70 published datasheets; anything outside it starts as a custom inquiry.

Engineering questions go to the same address as quotation requests, so the people reading your specification are the ones who can say whether it can be built.
