DURHAM, NC / ACCESS Newswire / April 23, 2026 / Nuvotronics, a leader in high-performance radio frequency (RF) and mmWave solutions for commercial and defense applications, announces the release of its 18-40 GHz, 4-state switched filter bank, designed to deliver high isolation, fast switching and compact integration for next-generation, SDRs.
The new capability addresses the growing need for frequency-agile radios that require reduced size, weight and power (SWaP) without compromising performance. Engineered for contested spectrum environments, the solution enables reliable channel selection while maintaining system link budgets.
"Nuvotronics continues to push the boundaries of RF performance while reducing size and weight for mission-critical systems," said Scott Meller, Vice President & General Manager, Nuvotronics. "Our new 18-40 GHz switched filter bank is engineered for high isolation and fast switching in a compact form factor -enabling SDRs to maintain system link budgets and operate effectively in congested and contested RF environments."
The new solution features four channels spanning 17.5-24 GHz, 23-29.5 GHz, 28.5-35 GHz and 34-40 GHz, with up to 75 dB rejection, <7.5 dB insertion loss per channel, and switching speeds under 200 ns. The device also supports hot switching up to 24 dBm, enabling agile operation in dynamic and contested RF environments.
"SDRs increasingly require compact, precision-engineered filtering capabilities that can be easily integrated into complex RF architectures," said Tom Dekker, Senior Product Manager, Nuvotronics. "Unlike traditional cavity and suspended substrate filter technologies, Nuvotronics' switched filter bank delivers up to six times size and weight reduction while maintaining high performance. The compact footprint and SMT launches simplify integration into high-density PCBA designs, helping engineers reduce system complexity without compromising capability.
