SAW filter application for phased array radar
Abstract
Some peculiarities of the array system which influences the design of the filtering devices in the 1F-amplifier are given. The design, development, and fabrication of two types of SAW filters for the 1F-amplifier of the receiving array for a phased array radar (Electronically Steerable Radar) are discussed. Compared to conventional filters with lumped elements, these filters have some important merits. Their use represents one of the few applications where high quality mass-produced SAW devices were applied to improve the system performance.
