XHF XLF XBF MMIC REFLECTIONLESS FILTERS 50 DC to 21 GHz The Big Deal Patented design eliminates in band spurs Pass band cut-off up to 21 GHz Stop band up to 35 GHz X-Series Available in Low Pass, High Excellent repeatability through IPD* process Pass and Band Pass designs Product Overview Mini-Circuits X-Series reflectionless filters 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. Traditional filters are reflective in the stop band, sending signals back to the source at 100% of the power level which interact with neighboring components and often result in intermodulation and other interferences. Reflectionless filters eliminate stop band reflections, allowing them to be paired with sensitive devices and used in ap - plications that otherwise require circuits such as isolation amplifiers or attenuators. Key Features Advantages Easy integration with sensitive reflective Reflectionless filters absorb unwanted signals, preventing reflections back to the components, e.g. mixers, multipliers source. This reduces generation of additional unwanted signals without the need for extra components like attenuators, improving system dynamic range and sav- ing board space. Enables stable integration of wideband Because reflectionless filters maintain good impedance in the stop band they amplifiers can be integrated with high gain, wideband amplifiers without the risk of creating instabilities in these out of band regions. Cascadable Reflectionless filters can be cascaded in multiple sections to provide sharper and higher attenuation, while also preventing any standing waves that could affect pass band signals. Excellent power handling in a tiny surface High power handling extends the usability of these filters to the transmit path for mount device inter-stage filtering. Small size, 3x3mm QFN Allows replacement of filter/attenuator pairs with a single reflectionless filter, sav- ing board space. Excellent repeatability of RF performance Through semiconductor IPD process, X-series filters are inherently repeatable for large volume production. Excellent stability over temperature With 0.3 dB variation over temperature ideal for use in wide temperature range applications without the need for additional temperature compensation. Operating temperature up to 105C Suitable for operation close to high power components. NotesNotes *IPD Integrated Passive Device, is a GaAs semiconductor process A.A.
