Filter Design Resources

Listed are resources for doing the design yourself. There are many magazine articles and websites with useful information that can either assist you with your own design, or convince you that it is best to find an expert to do it for you.

These companies here can supply your needs for any type of filter. They provide not only a stock of off-the-shelf models, but can also design and manufacture custom models for meeting specialty selectivity, group delay, insertion loss, form factor, power handling, or other unique parameters.
