Description:
The project Switchable harmonic filter bank in
V/U high frequency range has been to demonstrate the developments that
could be bought about in the field of communication making it much more
cost effective. It is mainly useful where harmonic noise of RF sources is
to be suppressed before further amplification in high power amplifiers,
where harmonics and inter modulation products of mixers used in super
heterodyne receivers are to be suppressed and where filters are to be
switched at a faster rate.
