Kyocera AVX Releases Two New Series of Small, High-Power, Thin-Film Band-Pass Filters

Kyocera AVX released two new series of compact, thin-film band-pass filters engineered to deliver excellent RF performance in a wide range of high-power applications with crowded PCBs.

Designed to satisfy cross-market customer demand for small, high-power band-pass filters, the new BP1206 and BP2816 Series band-pass filters leverage the company’s proven, multilayer integrated thin-film (ITF) technology to deliver highly repeatable and reliable RF performance with low insertion loss, steep attenuation, sharp roll-off, low-noise, and high temperature stability. Both series also enable the quick and easy adjustment of RF parameters and feature ruggedly constructed compact, low-profile cases equipped with lead-free, solder-coated-nickel land grid array (LGA) terminations and compatible with automated assembly processes, including reflow, wave, and vapor phase soldering.

The new BP1206 and BP2816 Series Thin-Film Band-Pass Filters exhibit 8W continuous power handling and 50Ω characteristic impedance, are rated for operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +85°C, and support various frequency bands extending from 240–6,100MHz to satisfy the wide-ranging demands of high-frequency wireless systems (more info).
