Overview

One of the actual requirements for modern communications technology is the need for compactness and reliability of electronic products. In particular the needs of RF/microwave products is of great interest

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Electrical Computer Engineering, and Northrop Grumman Corporation have developed an invention that reduces the size of the microwave filter structure in a form of embedded ridge wave-guide using Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC). The invention allows planar microwave circuits to be integrated easily into the substrate and provides lower insertion loss and wide band spurious suppression.
The current invention can be applied to embedded filter banks for front-end radar receivers and wireless communications
