“COMpact C-/KU-Band Broadband Waveguide FILters” –
ESA project for the development and evaluation of compact C-band and Ku-band broadband bandpass input filters for satellite broadcasting.
OBJECTIVES
To develop and validate innovative on-board compact broadband bandpass filters at C- and Ku-band with low insertion loss and wide spurious-free range. Such filters are based on both TM mode cavities and ridged/combline waveguide resonators.
RF Microtech (Perugia, Italy) is the prime contractor and electro-magnetic designer. Pasquali Microwave Systems (Florence, Italy) is the partner involved in the mechanical design and fabrication of prototypes
