Planar X Series

Planar X Series of standard bandpass filters

provide system engineers with high performance,

compact, light-weight solutions for critical RF

filtering in X, Ku, and Ka bands. Planar X Series

compliments Smiths Interconnect’s broad portfolio

of RF/Microwave components with an off-the-

shelf product reducing the lead times of custom

designs.

Planar X Standard Bandpass filters leverage thin film process

technology on various dielectric substrates which are designed for

use in harsh environments. The small footprint, light weight and

surface mountable configuration allow for high volume pick and

place applications and are ideal for SATCOM, Radar and Broadcasting

industries. Smiths Interconnect can also offer value added, high-

reliability test options providing assurance in mission critical defense

and space applications.

In addition to the standard products, Smiths Interconnect can

provide custom Planar X filter designs that are specific to the

requirements of the application. Regardless of the application, our

internal processes and procedures ensure that all filters are fully

compliant to customers’ specifications.
