MFC can offer an immediate opportunity to mitigate tariff-driven disruption to your mission with secure, U.S.-based sourcing for high-performance filters and microwave components.
Microwave Filter Company (MFC), based in East Syracuse, NY, has over 57 years of experience designing and manufacturing cavity, coaxial, and waveguide filters used in defense, aerospace, and satellite communications. Our filters have flown on aircraft like the F-16 and supported U.S. SATCOM platforms—and we are positioned right now to support YOU with localized, ITAR-compliant, tariff-immune capacity.
Why This Matters Right Now:
Current Tariffs and the threat of further tariffs on Chinese electronics are driving global shortages and pricing volatility for key RF components—including those widely used in satellite ground infrastructure.
Signal performance, especially in C, L, and Ka bands, depends on clean, interference-resistant filtering—and the window to secure domestic sources before deployment is closing.
We are a U.S. factory with in-place engineering, machining, tuning, and test capacity ready to support:
- Filter qualification and custom tuning for your band plan
- Rapid evaluation unit delivery (<3 weeks for most formats)
- Integration into LNB/filter assemblies or vendor-qualified RF modules
Options to Consider:
- Directly Qualify MFC Filters: Accelerate qualification for cavity and waveguide filters for your uplink/downlink chains. We’ll provide matched performance specs and fast prototypes.
- Use MFC as a Regional Backup: Even if your primary suppliers are overseas, MFC can serve as an immediate overflow or risk mitigation partner.
- Collaborate with Global Vendors: If you continue working with international RF vendors, MFC can provide local U.S. machining and tuning capacity under NDA to accelerate deployment and ensure tariff resilience.
Next Steps:
We’d welcome a 20-minute conversation to review your RF filtering roadmap, share our product catalog and spec sheets, and define where we can step in today—at no cost or commitment—to support your speed and resilience goals.
