Design Technology
Advanced Design Technology The experienced microwave engineering teams at Spectrum Microwave understand how everything comes together within a system and where integration challenges exist. We design our product for specific MIL applications and will work with your engineers to find the best method to address a wide range of microwave bandpass and frequency control requirements.
Advanced Design Technology Our engineers prefer to design using proven circuits and approaches, but they also explore the use of more exotic methods. Spectrum Microwave conducts internal research and development programs that attempt to exploit new technologies. Some examples include:
  • MEMS RF switches
  • High Speed Schottky Level Limiting
  • Silicon PIN Level Limiting
  • GaAs PIN Diode Switching
  • High-Speed Direct Frequency Synthesizers
We also have demonstrated stopband performance to 40 GHz and ripple reduction in Switched Filter Banks through control of impedance transitions between switches and filters.
