COMPANY PROFILE
Our company was founded in January
1981 with the mission of designing and producing high quality RF and Microwave
filters. Dr. Richard V. Snyder, founder of RS, had developed and
wanted to pursue filter technology unavailable and unaggressively
pursued at that time. Specifically, he developed an approach to
implementation of filter networks involving the use of evanescent modes of
propagation that offered a good combination of size and insertion loss, not
achievable with any other method current at the time. This
technique has been developed at RS to the point of application with arbitrary
transfer functions, bandwidths of 1% to 80% and from 200 MHz to 40
GHz. Since that time the Company has also developed unique lumped
element networks with symmetrical response, dielectric resonator designs (1 MHz bandwidth with a center frequency of 8 GHz!),
compact high power, low-loss notch filters (switched and fixed), the smallest
possible multiplexers, blind-mate filters (as small
as drop-in designs) for high isolation applications, Bessel-Thompson
world standard filters (our OR series) for use in optical communication
systems, evanescent mode dielectric-based notch filters, and a host of other
unique products for system application.
We are a 46-employee, $9,500,000 volume,
program-oriented company, motivated by participation in challenging, state-of-
the-art production probable applications. Our plant is a
well-equipped, 30,000 square foot facility which includes a fully equipped
machine shop producing mid-range quantities, a test area using 1 MHz to 50 GHz
vector analyzers, a high-tech assembly area, and a complete finishing area. We
are the major supplier of filters for the world-wide JTIDS/MIDS/GPS (all LINK-16) programs, a high power spread
spectrum military communication link which interfaces with TACAN, IFF, and other navigation and communication
systems. We are the largest supplier of high power notch filters in
the world. We have been and/or continue to be a major supplier on MIDS, JTIDS, ASPJ, ALQ-172, LAMPS, ALR67 (ASR), Rapport III, SLQ32, GPN, SPS- 48, GBR, AMRAAM, SM-2,
AEGIS, etc. Our
customers include most of the major manufacturers in the world of the
above-mentioned systems.
The Company is certified to AS9100 and all of our
assembly and test is performed in accordance with MIL-STD-2000 or 2000A,
satisfying the process requirements of ISO9000. Our manufacturing
system is fully LEAN. We perform
environmental testing on the majority of our products, including high power,
temperature-altitude and leak resistance. Our filters and
multiplexers are on many of the
RS PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
• Smallest High Power Notch
filters available anywhere ….and we are constantly reducing our own
record-small sized parts based on new research
• Extremely narrow bandpass
dielectric resonator filters with wide stopbands
• Can combine lumped, evanescent, dielectric,
waveguide in the same package
• Blind-mate, high-isolation interconnections
within packages and to external packages
• Combination of E-M and circuit simulation
results in predictable interconnections of our filters to other components,
such as switches, detectors, isolators, and amplifiers
• Combination of E-M and circuit simulation
results in predictable interconnections of our filters in multiplexed
configurations
