The integration of high quality narrow band pass filters into the low power RF system of advanced radar digital receivers is demonstrated by Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) technology. Using Computer Aided design, simulations, and yield analysis, a strip line LTCC filters were designed with 100% yield t o tolerances in materials and manufacturing processes. LTCC materials technology and processes used in the filters development is presented. Sample results of measured filter performances under extreme temperature cycling conditions is presented which demonstrates the excellent potential of the LTCC filters technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
