AE500B9972

Overview

The AE500B9972 is a bandpass RF filter module manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It operates with a center frequency of 500 MHz and features a passband ranging from 250 MHz to 750 MHz. The component has a maximum passband insertion loss of 2 dB and a minimum passband return loss of 15 dB. Rejection performance is specified at a minimum of 50 dB for frequencies between 0 and 50 MHz. The unit utilizes SMA connectors and has a maximum height of 0.400 inches (10.16 mm).

Feature Summary

• Provides bandpass filtering functionality centered at 500 MHz.
• Ensures signal integrity with low insertion loss within the passband.
• Offers high rejection characteristics for out-of-band signals below 50 MHz.

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Interference suppression in microwave circuits
• Test and measurement equipment front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical parameters against the official manufacturer datasheet before integration. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches your system interface requirements. Ensure the physical dimensions, particularly the 0.400-inch height, fit within your enclosure constraints. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 500 MHz center frequency bandpass response is required. Consider the 250-750 MHz bandwidth relative to your signal spectrum needs. Evaluate the 2 dB insertion loss limit against your system power budget. Verify that the SMA interface is compatible with your existing cabling and assembly infrastructure.
