CTS Introduces Versatile New High Frequency Ceramic Filter for Broadband Wireless Networks and Additional Civilian and Military Applications

Elkhart, IN... CTS Corporation (NYSE:CTS), a global leader in the design and manufacturer of ceramic radio frequency filters, today announced the release of its versatile High Frequency Series ceramic filters and duplexers for use in broadband wireless networks and other civilian and military applications.

New High Frequency Ceramic Filter

CTS’ development of a new dielectric ceramic material, coupled with its patented circuit design techniques, has resulted in a new series of high performance ceramic monoblock filters in the 2.5 GHz to 6.0 GHz range. The new high frequency monoblock filters provide improved electrical performance compared to LTCC alternatives and better reliability and size than coupled resonator designs. The low-insertion loss and high-rejection response make these components an ideal solution for advanced modulation schemes used in both WiMax and proprietary mesh networks. CTS provides a variety of standard frequencies and formats and custom designed solutions to meet the needs of special applications.
