General Description

The BTN-0065 is constructed using a custom-made, resonance-free conical inductor to achieve extremely broadband performance. By minimizing the overall inductor size and using proprietary packaging techniques, the BTN-0065 is a superior option in terms of performance, reliability and ease-of-use when compared to cumbersome self-made bias tees employing off-the-shelf conical inductors. The extremely low cutoff and resonance free operation makes the BTN-0065 suitable for biasing amplifiers, lasers, and modulators driven with high frequency data patterns.

Features

  • Broadband: 40 kHz to 65 GHz
  • Low Insertion Loss
  • Non-Resonant
  • Compact Size
