Richardson RFPD, an Arrow Electronics company, has announced the in-stock availability and full design support capabilities for two new bandpass filters from CTS Corporation.
Part of the ClearPlex® family of devices, the MCB1412A is a 13.75-14.50 GHz, mmWave, surface mount, ceramic waveguide bandpass filter with I/Os that can interface to micro-strip transmission lines on the top-layer of customer PCBs. It features superior rejection, insertion loss, reliability, temperature stability, and peak and average power handling compared to other X-band through Ku- and Ka-band filters. An evaluation board for the MCB1412A is also available.
The MXB1172A is a 10.7-12.75 GHz, surface mount, ceramic bandpass filter. It also features superior rejection, insertion loss, reliability, and peak and average power handling. The MXB1172A is part of the MTB/MXB series, which covers a variety of bands spanning 6-12 GHz.
Both new devices are designed for Ku-band SATCOM applications, with the MCB1412A intended for the uplink (transmit) and the MXB1172A for the downlink (receive).
The new filters are available as standard, off-the-shelf products. CTS can also support filters for the lower Ku-band and other specialized filter requirements.
