AB5550B1208

Overview

The AB5550B1208 is a cavity bandpass filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It operates with a center frequency of 5550 MHz and provides a passband range from 5245 MHz to 5855 MHz, resulting in a bandwidth of 610 MHz. The component features an insertion loss of less than or equal to 1 dB within the passband and maintains a return loss greater than 15 dB. It utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections.

Feature Summary

• Cavity construction designed for stable RF performance
• Bandpass filtering capability centered at 5.55 GHz
• Low insertion loss characteristics within the specified passband

Applications

• Radio frequency signal processing systems
• Wireless communication infrastructure
• Test and measurement equipment requiring specific frequency isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact connector type and mounting configuration against your system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the SMA interfaces are compatible with your existing cabling and assembly hardware. Ensure the physical dimensions fit within your designated enclosure space. Check for any specific environmental ratings if the deployment involves extreme temperatures or humidity. Validate that the center frequency aligns precisely with your operational spectrum needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass response around 5.55 GHz is required. The low insertion loss makes it suitable for applications where signal integrity is critical. Consider the cavity design for robustness in high-power environments compared to planar alternatives. Ensure the SMA connectors match the impedance requirements of your transmission lines. Evaluate the physical size constraints as cavity filters typically require more volume than surface-mount options.

Part Context

Anatech Electronics Inc. specializes in microwave and radio frequency components. This part belongs to their line of cavity filters, which are known for high Q-factors and stability. The AB series typically denotes specific frequency ranges and form factors within their catalog. These components are often used in defense, aerospace, and commercial wireless sectors.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Cross-referencing requires matching the 5245-5855 MHz passband, <=1dB insertion loss, and SMA interface. Verify mechanical compatibility if substituting with similar cavity filters from other manufacturers.
