Cascading LTCC and Reflectionless Filters to Tailor RFFE Performance
Jun 01, 2026 | Amplifiers
In most any wideband RF front end (RFFE), the system bandwidth is limited by some means, even if that limitation is a simple preselector. Often a wideband RFFE that is connected to an antenna must meet aggressive rejection parameters to avoid being desensitized by adjacent band transmissions. In this article we start with an RFFE that is wide open to neighboring transmissions and show how cascading a couple LTCC filters and a single MMIC filter achieves both band-limiting and spurious mitigation utilizing components that come in tiny, cost-efficient packages to meet aggressive SWaP-C requirements.
