Multiple Control Interfaces
We incorporate multiple interface options
from TTL and CMOS to RS-232, utilizing
EMI pins, D-Sub and Micro-D connectors.
Channelized Manifolds
Switch manifolds are channelized to obtain
maximum channel-to-channel isolation.
Reverse and Over
Voltage Protection
Our switched filter banks use multiple protection
circuits including high performance Schottky diodes
to prevent damage in a harsh application environment.
| Loaded with Standard Features |
High Performance is not the only facet of API’s industry leading Switched Filter Banks. Another important
element that sets us apart is features. Loaded with standard features, our proven designs are engineered
for demanding performance in both high-end commercial applications as well as military markets.
| The Filter Specialists |
Versatility is a hallmark that separates API Technologies from other filter companies. Choosing from a
wide assortment of topologies including lumped element, cavity, ceramic, SAW, tubular, suspended sub-
strate, and waveguide our engineers match the optimum topology to your requirements. Unlike other filter
companies, API continues to prove that by offering multiple options, a customer can weigh the benefits of:
size vs. loss, rejection vs. size, selectivity vs. group delay...and select the perfect filter to optimize system
performance and value.
Low Loss
Tubular Filters
In order to achieve the
lowest loss possible,
we choose to use
silver plating during
extreme Low Loss
applications.
High Quality Ceramic Filters
Although we can provide many standard finishes,
we prefer to use gold plating on our surface mount
packages offering better solderability, conductivity
and corrosion resistance than more common finishes.
Temperature
Compensated
API Technologies has frequently
designed and manufactured cavity
filters with temperature drifts of
less than 1 ppm/°C.

Creative Lumped
Element Designs
Utilizing sophisticated software such as
Sonnet EM Simulatore and SolidWorks,
creative layouts can be realized to optimize
package size and electrical performance.
Superior Group
Delay SAW Filters
Our proprietary SAW filter design
technologies provide superior Group
Delay Matching Performance with
minimal signal distortion.
Suspended Substrate
Integrating suspended substrate
topologies with lumped and
distributed elements provide
enhanced unloaded Q and
small size in one design.
