"While other companies rely on an empirical design approach, M/A-COM uses computer-aided design and electromagnetic simulation to develop high-performance assemblies more quickly and at lower cost," said Chris McNamara, engineering manager, M/A-COM."Other benefits for customers include low loss and high rejection, custom packaging, integration capability and application support, as well as the commitment to quality that customers have grown to expect from M/A-COM."

The CDMA 900, DCS 1800, GSM 900 and PCS 1900 Diplexers contain combline cavity transmit and receive filters, low pass filters and low noise amplifiers.These high quality, low-cost assemblies can be custom-designed and manufactured with features and options including single- or dual-channel, current alarm and VSWR detection circuits.Advanced proprietary Electromagnetic simulations and synthesis procedures have been extensively used to optimize patented Elliptical filter resonator geometries to obtain the highest Qs (quality factor) possible from combline structures.The result is better performance in a much smaller package.
