Current advances in modern wireless communication systems have created the demand for smaller, more reliable and low cost microwave components. Meanwhile, many communication systems operate in dual-bands, which necessitate complicated technologies to realize such components. Dual-wideband bandpass filters (BPF) are one of the most popular components increasingly investigated in...

The diplexer, commonly used to make receiving and transmitting share a common antenna, is an essential three-port device and typically consists of several bandpass (BPF) and bandstop (BSF) filters. Consequently, the performance of the BPF determines the comprehensive performance of the diplexer to a great extent. However, with recent...

RF and microwave switches based on PIN diodes or GaAs FETs have been key microwave design components for decades, with each type establishing itself in specific applications based on its inherent characteristics. In short, GaAs FETs offer fast switching speed and can operate down to DC, but can handle...

Werlatone recently expanded its offering of high power combiners and directional couplers to include a new product line supporting a full 20 to 1000 MHz bandwidth. These broadband units are a perfect fit for military and commercial applications alike, as they are all designed for extreme operating conditions. The...

In "The Innovator's Dilemma" (1997), Clayton Christensen, Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, coined the term "disruptive technology" to describe innovation that changes the fundamentals of an existing market and related value network through displacement of an entrenched technology. Although the phrase connotes an abrupt transition,...
