Description

The objective of the activity is to design channel filters for compact Ku-band input multiplexers using pre-distortion and lossy circuit techniques, with the objective of 25% reduction in terms of mass and size. Breadboards for the filters have been designed and characterized. In a second step, channel filters (EMs) have been built and tested for a narrow band and a wide band channel filter to evaluate the developed concepts and demonstrate the technology. Finally, limitations in key performance parameters against the mass and size improvement have been analyzed with respect to conventional unpredistorted Ku-Band IMUX channel filters.
