How Loops and Probes Couple to Cavity Filters
Feb 16, 2026 | Filters
Cavity filters are ubiquitous today, and they are not new to the world of RF and microwave engineering. Cavity filters have been around for almost 80 years, since Fano and Lawson completed their initial work in 1948.2,3 They are widely used in RF and microwave systems where high selectivity, low insertion loss, and excellent power handling are required. They are commonly found in SATCOM, radar, EW, ECM, and even test and measurement systems. One critical aspect of cavity filter design is how energy is coupled into and out of the resonant structure. Among the various techniques available, coupling loops and coupling probes (henceforth, more commonly “loops” and probes”) are the two most common methods. Each method relies on a different electromagnetic coupling mechanism and offers distinct advantages depending on frequency, power level, bandwidth, and mechanical constraints.
Application Notes: Band-Optimized Implementations of a MMIC LNA with Shut Down
Feb 03, 2026 | Amplifiers
An ultra-low NF MMIC LNA, the TSS-23ULN+ is shown to be versatile enough to be designed into the 380-480 MHz, 700-800 MHz and 950-1700 MHz bands of operation. To support users’ product selection and design effort, we have published 3 new application notes detailing the ideal application circuit to optimize performance for each use case.
