b'Engineering SolutionsCMI had made a commitment to its clients when it invested in the new Research & Development facility and the hiring of highly talented engineers.The company is committed to client relationships and developing answers to new filtering challenges.One example of this is the development of a lightweight RF filter for long-term military clients and the emerging UAV market. The former needed a filter small enough and lightenoughtobeincorporatedvirtuallyunnoticedintoweaponryandpersonal military gear while the latter required as little weight as possible for optimal flightCMI developed Non-Plated and Plated Composite Filtersperformance.The resulting lightest weight Band Pass Filters and Diplexers from CMI are made from a composite material, and on average reduce the weight of the filter by over 30% when compared to traditional aluminum.Once the RF Filter line was developed and into production CMI then combined these filters into Diplexers and Multiplexers. Multiplexing is the combining of more than two Band Pass Filters to a common port, while maintaining the filter performance of each separate band.InadditiontostandardRFandMicrowaveFilters,CMIdevelopedmanydifferentMultiplexertypes of passive and active filters for RF Shielded Test Enclosures. In 2008, CMI began developing USB, Ethernet and HDMI filters to meet the needs of the RF test and forensics enclosures. This has been a growing product line for CMI with no end in sight. Below are a few examples of these specialized filters.Specialized Filters8'
