AM1460B1309

Overview

The AM1460B1309 is a ceramic bandpass filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc., designed for RF and microwave applications. It features a center frequency of 1.46 GHz with a bandwidth of 36 MHz, covering the range from 1442 to 1478 MHz. The component operates at a standard impedance of 50 Ohms and is housed in a 16-SMD module package measuring 38.6x14 mm. Key electrical specifications include a maximum passband insertion loss of 2.5 dB and a maximum ripple of 0.5 dB. It provides significant rejection of 70 dBc at DC-1200 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes ceramic technology for stable RF filtering performance
• Provides high rejection characteristics below the passband
• Designed for surface-mount integration via SMD package

Applications

• RF signal processing systems requiring 1.46 GHz filtering
• Microwave communication equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (AM1460B1309.pdf) against your design requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 16-SMD package dimensions and pinout match your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with your assembly process for the specified surface-mount technology. Cross-reference the environmental specifications if operating in extreme conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 36 MHz bandwidth is required at 1.46 GHz. Consider the 2.5 dB insertion loss limit for system power budget calculations. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF infrastructure. Evaluate the physical size of the 38.6x14 mm module against available board space compared to smaller alternatives.

Part Context

Anatech Electronics Inc. specializes in RF and microwave filters, including ceramic designs. This part belongs to their series of bandpass filters tailored for specific frequency bands. The company focuses on custom and standard filter solutions for industrial and commercial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other Anatech models with similar center frequencies but different bandwidths if the 36 MHz width is not critical. Verify that any substitute maintains the 50 Ohm impedance and compatible SMD footprint.
