SAW Filters

Spectrum Control designs and manufactures high-rel SAW filters for today’s military and commercial markets. Spectrum Control provides standard solutions for narrowband, GPS band applications, standard IF, and standard RF bands. Our engineers and technical experts are able design and manufacture high-performance SAW filters that feature minimal group delay variation and low insertion loss.

Spectrum Control can manufacture SAW products on a certified MIL-PRF-38534 Class H&K line with Class 10,000 clean rooms and the capability to certify, screen, and test to the most rigorous of industry standards. Also, our products are hermetically seam sealed to maintain environmental integrity to pass the rigors of MIL-STD-883 Method 1014 Method 1014 Conditions A & C for both gross and fine lead detection.

• High power handling
• Insertion loss as low as 1.2 dB
• Shape factors below 1.10:1
• Hermetically sealed packages
• Meets MIL-STD-883 method 1014 conditions A & C for gross and fine leak
• Ultra-Flat group delay as low as 8 ns part to part
• Pre-Aged at 100°C to lock center frequency within 0.0005% (quartz only)

 Spectrum Control has over two decades of experience making SAW filters. We utilize a low jitter planar SAW which translates to extremely low phase noise performance and exceptionally low accumulated jitter. High performance is the cornerstone of our SAW Oscillator designs. Our SAW Oscillators undergo rigorous testing which include; constant acceleration, vibration testing, and stability bake. We use a low loss planar SAW device as the frequency controlling element. Adding multiple complimentary features including gold for low loss and kovar SAW packages results in a product with inherent high reliability to meet today’s demanding requirements.
