Device Overview
General Description
The MFB-1600 is a passive MMIC bandpass filter. It is a low loss integrated filter that passes Ku-Band frequencies (12-20GHz). Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller filter constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances allow for less unit to unit variation than traditional filter technologies. The MFB-1600 is available as a wire bondable chip. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S2P file taken from measured production units
Features
- Designed for Ku-Band Applications
- Insertion Loss Typically 1.5dB at Center Frequency
- Excellent Return Loss
- High Stop Band Suppression
- Wide Stop Band
