Coaxial Reflectionless Low Pass Filter VXLF-172H+ 50 W DC to 2000 MHz The Big Deal Match to 50 W in the stop band, eliminates undesired reflections Cascadable Generic photo used for illustration purposes only Excellent power handling CASE STYLE: FF704 Temperature stable up to 100C Product Overview Mini-Circuits VXLF-172H+ reflectionless filter employs a novel filter topology which absorbs and terminates stop band signals internally rather than reflecting them back to the source. This new capability enables unique applications for filter circuits beyond those suited to traditional approaches. Reflectionless filters eliminate stop band reflections,allowing them to be paired with sensitive devices and used in applications that otherwise require circuits such as isolation am- plifiers or attenuators. Key Features Feature Advantages Reflectionless filters absorb unwanted signals, preventing reflections back to the source. Easy integration with sensitive reflective This reduces generation of additional unwanted signals without the need for extra com- components, e.g. mixers, multipliers ponents like attenuators, improving system dynamic range. Because reflectionless filters maintain good impedance in the stop band they can be Enables stable integration of wideband integrated with high gain, wideband amplifiers without the risk of creating instabilities in amplifiers these out of band regions. High power handling extends the usability of these filters to the transmit path for inter- Excellent power handling stage filtering. Operating temperature up to 100C Suitable for operation close to high power components. The connectorized package is easy to interface with other devices and well suited for Connectorized package test setups. Notes A.
