Lumped Element Filters
- Q Microwave´s miniature lumped-element filter capability extends the full frequency
range of our capability: 20 MHz to 20 GHz. The principal advantage of this type of filter is its small size.
Disadvantages include higher loss for a given rejection requirement. Typical prototype delivery is 2 to 4 weeks.
