Lumped element filter technology is commonly used in applications where small size is required and consists of discrete capacitors and inductors soldered to a substrate in various schematic configurations.

The technology lends itself to both narrowband and broadband designs and is suitable for lowpass, highpass, bandpass, bandstop and multiplexing applications. Various prototypes are used combining capacitive or inductive couplings toproduce asymmetric or symmetric responses.  The combination of excellent performance characteristics (insertion loss and out-of-band rejection) and rugged construction make lumped element technology suitable for a wide range of markets including Broadcast, Telecommunications, SATCOMS and Defence. Lumped element technology offers: 

• Compact Size
• Surface/PCB mount or connectorised
• Wide range of topologies
• Designs to 3GHz and beyond
