High Power Switched Filter Banks Raise the Temperature on Design Challenges

An application that has driven the early development of high power SFBs is communications band signal jamming in the VHF and UHF frequencies. These devices have predominantly been used to prevent communications band signals to remotely triggered explosives and to deny cellular service near secure governmental and military facilities. Nonetheless, technology that has initially been leveraged to mitigate communications may be a solution that enhances communications in modern and future trending applications.
