Device Overview

General Description

The MFBP-00151CSP3 passive MMIC surface mount bandpass filter is an ideal solution for small form factor, high rejection filtering. The MFBP-00151CSP3 features a 7.8-11.8GHz 1dBc passband and 1.9dB center frequency insertion loss. 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 MFBP-00151CSP3 is available in our 3.5 x 3.5mm CSP3 chip scale package. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S2P file taken from measured production units.
