A broadband transmitter includes a modulator and circuits for translating and conditioning the modulated signal to produce a modulated, analog signal at a predetermined frequency. A low-linearity power amplifier amplifies the analog signal at a predetermined frequency; the low-linearity amplifier benefits from having a smaller physical size and a lower heat dissipation. A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-switched filter bank includes at least one MEMS switch and at least one filter. The MEMS-switched filter bank reduces in-band noise and harmonics from the amplified analog signal for transmission of the amplified analog signal at the predetermined frequency in the broadband network.
