AE18000L9253

Overview

The AE18000L9253 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It features SMA connectors and operates with a cutoff frequency of 18 GHz. The device provides a bandwidth of 1 dB within the module configuration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum insertion loss of 1.0 dB in the passband, a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.5:1, and an average power handling capacity of 50 Watts. The unit maintains angle tolerances of +/- 1 degree.

Feature Summary

• Suspended stripline construction for stable RF performance
• Low insertion loss characteristics in the passband
• High average power handling capability
• Precision mechanical alignment tolerances

Applications

• Military communication systems
• Commercial RF testing equipment
• Microwave signal processing modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status, as current records indicate user-defined or non-standard environmental declarations. Ensure connector type matches system requirements. Confirm power ratings against actual operational duty cycles. Validate dimensional constraints against enclosure specifications prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18 GHz cutoff frequency is required for low-pass filtering applications. Consider the 50-watt average power rating for high-power signal paths. Verify that SMA connectors are compatible with existing interconnect infrastructure. Evaluate the physical dimensions of 0.95 x 0.79 x 0.47 inches for spatial fit within the assembly.
