The DW9255 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) bandpass
filter for use with the GP2000 Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver chip-set, available from Mitel Semiconductor.
It is pre-tuned to the exact 2nd IF filter requirements of the
GP2010 & GP2015 RF front-end devices, with a centre-
frequency of 35.42MHz. The response is tuned for a flat
passband, steep stopband and uniform passband group-delay
with 3 external inductors. The device is realised on a Lithium
Tantalate substrate and housed in a small leadless ceramic
Surface Mount package.
The DW9255 gives significant improvement in correlated
GPS Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance compared to
conventional LC bandpass filter schemes. This aids satellite
signal acquisition and tracking capability from the GP2000
GPS chip-set. This device effectively filters out-of-band
(unwanted) noise in the GPS signal. The Automatic Gain
Control (AGC) within the GP2010 and GP2015 RF Front-end
devices will then operate only on in-band noise for optimum
gain and superior correlated GPS signal strength.

than 20dB) beyond this bandwidth, and so should have a brick-
wall type response at these extremes. The DW9255 SAW
filter provides a 1dB Bandwidth of typically 1.9MHz centred on
35.42MHz, with a typical pass band ripple of 0.8dB, when the
SAW input and output capacitance is resonantly matched with
inductors of optimum value. The out-of-band signal rejection is
better than 21dB at
±2.0MHz,
and better than 35dB at
±7.5MHz.
The frequency response of the DW9255 SAW filter with
matching components is shown in Fig. 3. The matching
components used with the GP2010/15 device are shown in
Fig. 4.
The second external IF filter is connected between the output
of Stage 2 and input of Stage 3. It is required to define the
bandwidth of the RF section of the GPS receiver, hence it is
critical to the receiver performance. The filter should be flat
across the 2MHz bandwidth of the GPS Coarse-Acquisition
(C/A) code signal. It should also have high rejection (greater
