IMS2026 Spotlight: MPG Introduces a Stackable X-Band Switch Filter Bank At IEEE International MTT Symposia (IMS) 2026, Zelma Diaz, Vice President of Microwave Products Group, and Dave Pebbles, Applications Engineer, showcased the company's new Stackable X-Band Switch Filter Bank. The design uses the Z-axis to stack eight stripline filters within a single package, reducing system footprint while maintaining filter performance and integrating RF switching functionality. The solution is designed for applications where space savings are critical without sacrificing RF performance. Key Features: • Stackable switch filter bank architecture • X-band operation from 8 to 12 GHz • Eight integrated stripline filters • Four-pole filter design • Integrated RF switches • 5.5 dB insertion loss • 23 dBc rejection performance • 2 W power handling • 100 ns switching speed The company plans to expand the product family to cover frequencies from 1 GHz to 20 GHz, while future generations are expected to offer customizable footprints and filter performance options. The Stackable X-Band Switch Filter Bank demonstrates how advanced packaging techniques can help reduce RF subsystem size while maintaining functionality and performance.
