The BFCN-3600+ LTCC Bandpass Filter is constructed using multilayer ceramic technology to achieve miniature size
and high repeatability of performance. Wrap-around terminations minimize variations in performance due to parasitics.
Covering 3600 MHz ±300 MHz, these units offer low insertion loss and good rejection at the band reject edges.
Key Features
Feature
Flat group delay (±33pS)
Advantages
The model has flat group delay which ensures low distortion.
Sharp shape factor
Sharp shape factor helps in adjacent channel rejection and hence increased selectivity.
Good VSWR, 1.2:1 typical over passband
This provides well matched input and output ports.
Wrap around termination
Provides excellent solderability and easy visual inspection capability.
LTCC construction
Provides a rugged package that is well suited for tough environments including high humidity and
high temperature extremes
Small size, 0.12" x 0.6" x 0.4"
The surface mount package enables BFCN-3600+ to be used in compact designs.
