BPF-E16+

Overview

The BPF-E16+ is a lumped LC bandpass filter designed for radio frequency applications. It features a center frequency of 16 MHz and operates within a passband range of 2 to 30 MHz. The component maintains a standard impedance of 50 Ohms, ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems. Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 1 dB and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.4:1. The device offers high rejection characteristics outside the desired passband. It is housed in an SMD module package, specifically the HR1176 case style, suitable for surface mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes lumped LC topology for compact bandpass filtering
• Provides high signal rejection outside the operational passband
• Features low insertion loss for efficient signal transmission
• Maintains stable impedance matching with good VSWR performance

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Frequency selection in receiver front-ends
• Interference suppression in electronic circuits
• Signal filtering in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct termination style matches your board layout requirements. Confirm that the operating temperature range aligns with your environmental conditions. Check the datasheet for absolute maximum ratings to prevent component damage during installation or operation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the sensitive nature of RF components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass response around 16 MHz is required. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for system integration. Evaluate the physical dimensions of the SMD package against available PCB space. Compare insertion loss specifications against system sensitivity requirements to ensure adequate signal integrity.
