2 K&L Microwave (MPG Salisbury) has been a key supplier to space programs since the Apollo 17 lunar sounder experiment in Across the decades, K&L has supported customers with high reliability filter products for integration into flight equipment, providing filters for space applications in bandpass, highpass, lowpass, and bandstop configurations. All product lines offer flight filters built to customer specifications or to in-house space screening document Filters are manufactured and tested at K&L's facilities in Salisbury, Maryland. Manufacturing personnel are trained to the space addendum of J-STD-001 to ensure the highest quality product. As an engineer-to-order supplier of custom filter products, K&L has the expertise and resources for determining how best to meet customer space flight requirements. A highly trained engineering staff utilizes a collection of specialized in-house and purchased software tools to identify and realize advantageous design approaches and works closely with an experienced technical sales team to guide customers to the appropriate filter topologies. K&L s 170,000 square foot facility vertically integrates design, manufacturing, and test centers.

4 Lumped Element Filters K&L Microwave's lumped element filters offer a broad range of performance, both electrical and mechanical, from 0.5 MHz to 6 GHz. Responses include bandpass, highpass, lowpass, and bandstop. Pseudo-elliptic performance allows close in-band rejection while minimizing insertion loss. Typical filters use a Chebychev transfer function, with Bessel, Gaussian, transitional Gaussian, and other specialty functions available as needed. Lumped element filters can be designed to handle relatively high power levels in space environments in order to address multipaction concerns. For high vibration capability, filters are potted with a NASA-approved non-outgassing syntactic foam. Custom packages to fit constrained requirements are made possible by K&L s in-house machine shop and plating facility. Typical capabilities shown below.

6 Dielectric Resonator Filters K&L s dielectric resonator filters, in both packaged and open-frame designs, offer high unloaded Q for their size, allowing narrow bandwidths with low insertion loss. Open-frame designs are used often in space flight applications utilizing filtering in sealed integrations. Packaged filters can be sealed to fine or gross leak hermeticity or vented, depending on customer requirements. Packaged filters are available connectorized or with gull-wing or flat-pack hermetic pins for input and output. Typical capabilities shown below.

8 Cavity Filters K&L Microwave s line of cavity filters offers high unloaded Q for the lowest insertion loss for a given center frequency and percentage bandwidth. Cavity filters are available in center frequencies of 30 MHz to 94 GHz and bandwidths from 0.2% to 50% of tuned center frequency. At frequencies below 30 GHz, TEM mode resonators are utilized for narrowband applications, with evanescent mode combline structures supporting broader bandwidths. Above 30 GHz, waveguide structures typically offer best performance. Mechanical construction and low insertion loss give cavity filters exceptional power handling capabilities and, when appropriately designed, resistance to multipaction. Rugged design makes cavity filters excellent for high vibration requirements. With K&L s vertical integration, virtually any mechanical shape can be realized for custom applications.
