Richardson RFPD Introduces New 174–512 MHz Tunable Bandpass Filter From NewEdge Signal Solutions

Designed for extended UHF band in tactical communications applications

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced recently the availability and full design support capabilities for a new tunable bandpass filter from NewEdge Signal Solutions, Inc.

The SAX270 electronically-tunable bandpass filter is designed for the extended UHF band in tactical communications applications. NewEdge has used a breakthrough approach to achieve the filter’s extremely small size and over-molded plastic packaging.

Additional key features of the SAX270 include:

• Package size: 0.5 x 0.45 x 0.175 inches
• Insertion loss: 4.3 dB typical
• Noise figure: < .5 dB above insertion loss
• Power handling: +27 dBm P1dB
• DC power consumption: < 100 mW typical

An evaluation board (SAX270_EVB) is also available at http://www.richardsonrfpd.com/Pages/Product-Details.aspx?productId=1251910&utm_campaign=NewEdge-SAX270&utm_source=PR&utm_medium=PR.

The combination of size and RF performance with low DC power consumption makes this filter ideal for high-performance embedded applications where board size is constrained, such as handheld and manpack radios, as well as radios included in drones and other airborne platforms.
