LTCC Bandpass Filter
50Ω
2340 to 2530 MHz
The Big Deal
• Small size 3.2mm x 1.6mm
• Pass band (2340-2530 MHz)
• Low Insertion Loss (2.0 dB typical)
• Sharp rejection peaks close to stop band
BFCN-2435+
CASE STYLE: FV1206
Product Overview
The BFCN-2435+ LTCC Band Pass Filter is constructed with 12 layers in order to achieve a miniature size
and high repeatability of performance. Wrap-around terminations minimize variations in performance due to
parasitics. Covering 2435 MHz ±95 MHz, these units offer low insertion loss and good rejection.
Key Features
Feature
Small Size (3.20mm x1.6 mm)
Advantages
Allows for high layout density of circuit boards, while minimizing affects of parasitics.
Rejection peaks at harmonic
frequencies
Provides good rejection of signals at harmonic frequencies, for improved system
performance.
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.
