Filter Technology

Founded in 1981, Integrated Microwave is a leading designer and manufacturer of precision IF, RF and microwave filters and integrated multifunction modules for the aerospace, defense, test equipment and communications industries.

Utilizing state-of-the-art computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), engineering (CAE) and test (CAT) techniques, Integrated Microwave's engineering staff creates product designs that reflect the very latest in RF/microwave filter technology including solid dielectric, etched/printed, electronically tuned and ultra-miniature devices.

Each Integrated Microwave filter is individually designed to a customer's specifications. All requirements are completely modeled for optimum performance, size, weight and price, underscoring an ongoing commitment to strict quality standards and conformance to customer requirements with consistent on-time delivery.

All Integrated Microwave manufacturing and quality control conform to MIL-1-45208A specifications; the key elements of MIL-Q-9858A can be met upon request. Integrated Microwave has developed and produced the smallest high-performance microminiature filter components in use in the world. An innovative and creative staff continues to look for newer and better ways to meet customer needs and to answer the challenge of tomorrow's technology.

Compliance with design parameters can only occur if all phases from modeling to production are monitored for strict conformance to customer requirements and design standards. Integrated Microwave takes pride in the close and constant attention paid to every aspect of the design process, from the acquisition of raw materials to final inspection and shipping of the finished product. Every component is continuously monitored for electrical and physical performance, workmanship and compliance to applicable specifications.

Manufacturing and quality controls meet MIL-I-45208A, MIL-C-45662, MIL-E-5400, MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD-2000, WS-6536 and other military specifications. Unit-to-unit repeatability is assured by precision fabrication, certified soldering and fast, accurate testing. Complete in-house environmental testing facilities include thermal shock, thermal cycling, insulation resistance and hermeticity. Additional testing may include high-level vibration, mechanical shock, constant acceleration, Particle Impact Noise Detection (PIND) and radiographic inspection.

Integrated Microwave produces a wide range of high-quality microminiature lumped-element, suspended substrate, combline, interdigital and cavity filters and multifunction modules in the DC to 26.5 GHz range. Filter types include lowpass, highpass, bandpass, bandreject and multiplexers. Each filter can incorporate any of the following transfer functions:

Frequency Domain
Transitional
Time Domain

Integrated Microwave can provide amplitude-matched, phase-matched, group delay-matched and pulse response-matched filters and multiplexers. Filters are available in 50 ohm, 75 ohm and unequal impedance configurations with bandwidths of less than 1% to multi-octave.

Integrated Microwave products are currently in use worldwide in the most advanced military, aerospace, instrumentation and communications systems. Cable television, earth and satellite communication, as well as subsea, air and space navigation, communication and detection systems rely on the superior technology and performance of Integrated Microwave filters.

Integrated Microwave is also a leader in the design and fabrication of multifunction modules or "supercomponents". Advanced technical expertise permits the integration of all filter products with PIN diode switches and drivers, circulators and isolators, power dividers, mixers and amplifiers.

Integrated Microwave provides custom-designed filters that meet the rigorous demands of miniaturization, high reliability and high performance at "off-the-shelf" prices. A total commitment to the highest standards of design, workmanship and customer support are your assurance of complete satisfaction and reliability for all your filter needs.
