Product Lineup
The HERD Family
Ultra-low-loss IR-blocking filters designed for quantum computing applications. Choose the right HERD for your setup.

1st generation
HERD-1
First-generation high-energy radiation drain
A passive, non-magnetic inline filter that drains high-energy radiation away from the signal path while leaving microwave signals essentially untouched.
In-band loss
0.1 dB typical
Stop-band
>50 dB @ 60 GHz
Connector
SMA F/F

2nd generation
HERD-2
Compact IR-blocking filter for cryogenic quantum processors
Non-magnetic inline filter with ultra-low in-band loss and deep high-frequency attenuation. Reduces quasiparticle generation and improves system stability.
In-band loss
<0.15 dB typical
Stop-band
>60 dB @ 70+ GHz
Connector
SMA/SMP/SMPM/SMPS
