MFBC-00018CH_Passive GaAs MMIC 44.50 – 62.50 GHz Bandpass Filter

Device Overview

General Description

The MFBC-00018CH family of passive MMIC 44.50 – 62.50GHz bandpass filters are an ideal solution for small form factor, mmWave, high rejection filtering. 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. Low unit-to-unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S2P file taken from measured production units. The MFBC-00018CH is available as a wire bondable die.
