In the opener of our two-part RF filtering trends series, we discussed several emerging trends affecting the “jobs” RF filters need to perform. The article provides details on the overarching trend for mainstream applications to operate at increasingly high frequencies, resulting in the adoption of new RF architectures and new jobs for filters, as well as several trends surrounding RF-filter performance considerations.
In part two, we take these ideas further by focusing on trends in today’s filtering technology options and discussing filtering solutions that can help RF filter designers stay on top of those trends.
