LP1206A3200ASTR\100

RF Filters

The LP1206A3200ASTR\100 is a radio frequency (RF) filter that helps suppress signals that are outside its pass band frequency range. The device can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from the filtering of cellular communications signals to the testing of defense systems.

Applications

The LP1206A3200ASTR\100 is suitable for antenna duplexers and RF filters used in cellular and wireless infrastructure applications, as well as for any general-application RF filter that requires a wide pass band and low loss. The filter is particularly suited for applications such as WCDMA handsets, 3G base stations, CAM systems, and satellite communications. It can also be used in medical systems, optical communications, and other applications that require a customized RF filter with a wide pass band and low loss. It is especially suitable for applications that require high-temperature operation.

Working Principle

The LP1206A3200ASTR\100 consists of a set of distributed lumped element components, including inductors, capacitors, and resistors that affect the filter characteristics. The filter also contains a dielectric material between the inductors and capacitors that acts as an electrical insulator. The dielectric material allows for the construction of a compact and lightweight filter that is capable of operating at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The filter also has a high insertion loss, low reflection coefficient, and high Q-factor, which allow for optimum operation. The frequency response of the filter is controlled by adjusting the inductance and capacitance values of the components.

The filter is constructed using a combination of silver-plated microstrip lines and a printed circuit board (PCB) technology. The microstrip lines are used to create inductor-capacitor (LC) filters, which are then further modified using the printed circuit board technology. The LC filters are then combined with the PCB technology to create a filter with the desired pass band characteristics.

The filter has a wide pass band of 2.4 - 6.0 GHz with an insertion loss of 5.5 dB maximum and the return loss better than 12 dB. The filter features a high Q-factor that is critical for wide pass band applications. The filter also has high-temperature operation and is capable of operating over a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to +85°C.
