VXLF-172H+

Coaxial Reflectionless Low Pass Filter 50Ω VXLF-172H+ DC to 2000 MHz The Big Deal • Match to 50W in the stop band, eliminates undesired reflections • Cascadable • Excellent power handling • Temperature stable up to 100°C Generic photo used for illustration purposes only CASE STYLE: FF704 Product Overview Mini-Circuits’ VXLF-172H+ reflectionless filter employs a novel filter topology which absorbs and terminates stop band signals internally rather than reflecting them back to the source. This new capability enables unique applications for filter circuits beyond those suited to traditional approaches. Reflectionless filters eliminate stop band reflections,allowing them to be paired with sensitive devices and used in applications that otherwise require circuits such as isolation amplifiers or attenuators. Key Features Feature Advantages Easy integration with sensitive reflective components, e.g. mixers, multipliers Reflectionless filters absorb unwanted signals, preventing reflections back to the source. This reduces generation of additional unwanted signals without the need for extra components like attenuators, improving system dynamic range. Enables stable integration of wideband amplifiers Because reflectionless filters maintain good impedance in the stop band; they can be integrated with high gain, wideband amplifiers without the risk of creating instabilities in these out of band regions. Excellent power handling High power handling extends the usability of these filters to the transmit path for interstage filtering. Operating temperature up to 100˚C Suitable for operation close to high power components. Connectorized package The connectorized package is easy to interface with other devices and well suited for test setups. Notes A.
