Evolution and Trends of High-Q Filters for Satellites

Speaker: Dr. LI Shengxian

China Academy of Space Technology (Xi'an)

Abstract: This presentation will review the evolution of microwave passive filter devices for China's communication satellites with focus on the exploration and development of microwave passive devices in ultra-high Q, high frequency, integration, miniaturization and high power driven by the demands of advanced communication satellite payload technologies. Furthermore, in light of recent advances in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) internet satellites and high-throughput satellites in recent years, the presentation will also look forward to the future trend of microwave passive devices for satellites, including all dielectric filters, integration of filter antennas, and on-board application prospects of chip filters.

Keynote Speaker 4

Coupled Resonator Microwave Filters: A Heretic's Journey

Speaker: Professor Amari, Smain

Abstract: The talk covers my journey into the theory and design of coupled resonator filters highlighting some of the 'crazy' ideas my collaborators and I put forward. Concepts such as non-resonating nodes, frequency dependent coupling, and coupling through higher/lower modes, seem to have finally gained acceptance in the filter community...
