Harmonic Filters

MM-Microwave new design of low pass absorptive filter provides an extremely broad stop band allowing high rejection levels in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th harmonics.

It is constructed using dielectrically loaded secondary waveguides terminating in an absorptive material resulting in an absorptive stopband response. This gives the advantage over the more usual reflective filter designs that the harmonic power is absorbed in the filter rather than being reflected back to the transmitter.

The power handling capabilities of harmonic filters are also exceptional as the waveguide dimensions are maintained at the nominal waveguide sizes throughout the filter structure.

MM-Microwave  can also design and manufacture reflective low pass waveguide filters and absorptive filters using other technologies such as discrete loads and reflective filters fitted with circulators. Contact the Sales Department on +44 (0) 1751 472866 or
