LTCC Bandpass Filter BFCN-1525+ 50 1480 to 1570 MHz The Big Deal Small size 3.2mm x 1.6mm CASE STYLE: FV1206 Pass band (1480-1570 MHz) Low Insertion Loss (2.0 dB typical) Sharp rejection peaks close to stop band Product Overview The BFCN-1525+ LTCC Band Pass Filter is constructed with 12 layers in order to achieve a miniature size and high repeatability of performance. Wrap-around terminations minimize variations in performance due to parasitics. Covering 1525 MHz 45 MHz, these units offer low insertion loss and good rejection. Key Features Feature Advantages Small Size (3.20mm x1.6 mm) Allows for high layout density of circuit boards, while minimizing affects of parasitics. Rejection peaks at harmonic Provides good rejection of signals at harmonic frequencies, for improved system frequencies performance. Wrap around termination Provides excellent solderability and easy visual inspection capability. Provides a rugged package that is well suited for tough environments including high humidity LTCC construction and high temperature extremes. Notes A.
