Surface Mount Bandpass Filter
The MFBP-00086CSP3 passive MMIC surface mount bandpass filter is an ideal solution for small form factor, high rejection filtering. The MFBP-00086CSP3 features a 12.7-17.9 GHz 1 dBc passband and 1.9 dB 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-00086CSP3 is available in a 3.5 x 3.5 mm CSP3 chip scale package.

Broadband Conical Inductors
Passive Plus (PPI) has announced a new line of broadband conical inductors for bias Ts, broadband chip manufacturing, communication platforms, high frequency, microwave circuitry, RF test set-ups, test & measurement, test gear, test instrumentation and transmission amplifiers. These special RF chokes are used to filter RF and microwave frequency interference from electronic circuits in order to reduce EMI by attenuating high-frequency noise with an upper frequency limit up to 110 GHz (depending on substrate). S-Parameters are available on PPI’s website.
