Device Overview

General Description

The MFLP-00029CSP1 MMIC surface mount lowpass filter is an ideal solution for extremely small form factor, high rejection filtering. The MFLP-00029CSP1 features a 12.9 GHz 3 dBc cutoff and 24 dB passband return 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 MFLP-00029CSP1 is available as a 1.5x1.5 mm CSP. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S2P file.
