Compact Waveguide Filters

The WC-Series bandpass filters are compact waveguide filters designed to fit in small spaces. It is the perfect choice if your space is limited. WC-Series is small but has many advantages over standard waveguide bandpass filters. It can achieve very broad bandwidths and for certain situations it can eliminate the need for additional lowpass filters, saving even more space. WC-Series are available as filters or as diplexers.

Wireless M-Bus Range Extender

Following on the success of the LoRa product portfolio, IMST GmbH presents the new LoRaWAN® certified WM-bus range extender to collect wireless M-bus messages from utility meters and forward them to a LoRaWAN® network. This product allows filtering wireless M-bus messages by manufacturer ID (M-field) and sender address (A-field) to select specific groups of meters. The intelligent calendar enables a flexible configuration of events and repetition interval (minutes, hours, days, weeks…).

Lowpass Filter Rejects

Mini-Circuits’ model LFCW-103+ is a low temperature cofired ceramic lowpass filter with broad passband from DC to 10 GHz. The passband insertion loss is typically 1.5 dB while rejection of unwanted signals is typically 40 dB from 10 to 26.5 GHz. Typical passband VSWR is 1.02:1 at 100 MHz, 1.10:1 at 1 GHz and 1.45:1 at 10 GHz. The RoHS-compliant, 50 Ω lowpass filter is supplied in a compact 0603 enclosure measuring just 0.063 x 0.032 x 0.024 in. It is designed to handle input power levels of typically as high as 4 W at room temperature and features an operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

Hybrid Couplers

Pasternack has just expanded its line of RF hybrid couplers with new models that meet the demands for higher frequency components. Pasternack’s hybrid coupler line expansion consists of 21 new models with a high frequency operating range of up to 40 GHz for wide band applications. These coaxial designs feature SMA and 2.92 mm connectors. They are ideal for RF applications that require an even split of input and output ports with 90-degree or 180-degree phase shifts while maintaining high isolation between the ports.
