315.00 MHz
SAW Filter
The RF1439E is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to provide
front-end selectivity in 315.0 MHz receivers. Receivers using this filter include superheterodynes with IF’s at
10.7 MHz or 500 kHz, plus direct conversion and superregeneratives. Typical applications of these receivers
are wireless remote-control and security devices operating in North America. This coupled-resonator filter
(CRF) uses selective null placement to provide typically more than 40 dB suppression of LO and image
responses in superheterodyne receivers with 10.7 MHz IF’s. RFM’s advanced SAW design and fabrication
technology is utilized to achieve high performance and very low loss with simple external impedance
matching.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Observe precautions for handling.
Notes:
1.
Unless noted otherwise, all measurements are made with the filter installed in the specified test fixture which is connected to a 50
Ω
test system with
VSWR
≤
1.2:1. The test fixture L and C are adjusted for minimum insertion loss at the filter center frequency, f
c
. Note that insertion loss and band-
width are dependent on the impedance matching component values and quality.
The frequency f
c
is defined as the midpoint between the 3dB frequencies.
Where noted, specifications apply over the entire specified operating temperature range of -40 to 90°C.
The turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) frequency, f
o
. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, T
c
, may

be calculated from: f = f

].
5. Frequency aging is the change in fc with time and is specified at +65°C or less. Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures
above +65°C. Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing significantly in subsequent years.
6. The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject to change without notice.
7. One or more of the following U.S. Patents apply: 4,54,488, 4,616,197, and others pending.
8. All equipment designs utilizing this product must be approved by the appropriate government agency prior to manufacture or sale.
9. Tape and Reel Standard for ANSI / EIA 481.
10. These values are attainable by using the optional pin out.
11. Typical rejection is defined as the typical rejection at the worst frequency in the band.
