Reflectionless Filters Improve System Linearity and Dynamic Range - Now Available!

2015-10-14 | Return

14 October 2015 – Mini-Circuits proudly announces the catalog release of our new X-series reflectionless filters. While conventional filters fully reflect out-of-band signals back to the source, these patented designs absorb and internally terminate stop band signals, eliminating in-band spurs and enabling significant improvement in system dynamic range. They’re perfect for pairing with sensitive devices such as mixers, multipliers, high gain amplifiers and more!

The initial catalog release features 23 models including high pass (XHF-), low pass (XLF-) and band pass (XBF-) designs with pass band cutoffs up to 17 GHz and stop band coverage up to 35 GHz. Manufactured using Integrated Passive Device (IPD) process technology on GaAs, they provide excellent repeatability for consistency in system performance and come enclosed in tiny, 3 x 3mm QFN packages. Application notes with test results for various application circuits using reflectionless filters are available on the Mini-Circuits website.Reflectionless filters are available off the shelf starting at $9.95 each (qty. 20). Place your order today and have them in hand as soon as tomorrow!
