AM3500B1545

Overview

The AM3500B1545 is a ceramic band pass filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It operates with a center frequency of 3500 MHz (3.5 GHz) and provides a bandwidth of 20 MHz, covering the range from 3490 to 3510 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes a 16-SMD module package. Physical dimensions are specified as 26.40mm in length and 14.00mm in width. The device exhibits an insertion loss characteristic, suitable for surface mount applications requiring precise RF filtering at this specific frequency band.

Feature Summary

• Constructs a band pass filter using ceramic technology for stable RF performance
• Designed for surface mount installation within a 16-SMD module configuration
• Provides defined signal passage between 3490 MHz and 3510 MHz

Applications

• RF signal filtering in wireless communication systems operating near 3.5 GHz
• Base station equipment requiring narrowband interference rejection
• Test and measurement instrumentation utilizing 3.5 GHz bands

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version provided by Anatech Electronics Inc. to confirm exact insertion loss values and tolerance specifications prior to integration. Ensure that the 16-SMD footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions of 26.40mm x 14.00mm. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by regulatory standards for the final assembly environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 MHz bandwidth is required at exactly 3500 MHz center frequency. The 50 Ohm impedance must align with the system's transmission line characteristics. Consider the physical size constraints of the 16-SMD package during mechanical design. This part is appropriate for applications demanding high selectivity in the C-band or similar spectrum ranges without adjustable tuning capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the family of ceramic filters produced by Anatech Electronics Inc., which specialize in passive RF components. These filters are engineered for high Q-factor performance and thermal stability. The AM3500 series typically addresses niche frequency requirements where standard LC filters may lack sufficient rejection or size efficiency. Ceramic construction offers robustness against environmental variations compared to other filter technologies.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the 3500 MHz center frequency, 20 MHz bandwidth, 50 Ohm impedance, and 16-SMD package dimensions. Verify electrical parameters of any alternative component against the original datasheet specifications.
