AE1600N2231

Overview

The AE1600N2231 is a cavity band stop RF filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It features a center frequency of 1.6 GHz and a bandwidth of 5 MHz. The module exhibits an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity. Physical dimensions are specified as 226 mm in length, 42 mm in width, and 50.3 mm in height. Mechanical tolerances include a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.01 inches and angular precision of +/- 1 degree.

Feature Summary

• Cavity construction designed for high-power handling capabilities
• Band-stop topology providing notch filtering at the target frequency
• SMA connector interface for standard RF integration

Applications

• Radio frequency interference suppression
• Signal processing modules requiring specific notch filtering
• Microwave component assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version to confirm electrical specifications such as return loss and power handling limits, as these parameters define operational suitability. Ensure mechanical mounting requirements align with the specified 226x42x50.3 mm footprint and SMA connector orientation. Confirm that the 1.6 GHz center frequency matches the system's interference profile before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 1.6 GHz notch filter is required within a cavity-based architecture. The 5 MHz bandwidth defines the rejection range, which must accommodate the specific interference signal without affecting adjacent desired channels. Consider the physical size constraints due to the module's dimensions and verify that the SMA interface compatibility exists within the existing circuit design.

Part Context

Anatech Electronics Inc. specializes in radio frequency and microwave passive devices, including filters and duplexers.
