As many aerospace and defense and satellite communication applications face new requirements to perform increasingly complex tasks with unwavering precision and reliability, the wider bandwidths and faster speeds available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) portion of the RF spectrum are becoming increasingly attractive. But as with any technology shift, this presents new challenges for RF engineers as they look to implement sufficient
high-performance RF filtering at mmWave bands.

This white paper explores the key factors to consider when selecting a filter technology for mmWave applications such as the importance of bandwidth, selectivity, and low-loss filtering.
