BPF24-813

Overview

The L-com BPF24-813 is an in-line bandpass RF filter designed for indoor signal conditioning applications. It operates with a center frequency of 2.472 GHz and provides a bandwidth of 22 MHz, specifically targeting Channel 13 within the 2.4 GHz spectrum. The component features an 8-pole microwave cavity construction to ensure high selectivity and performance. It utilizes N-Type connectors for interface compatibility. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 3 dB and a passband ripple of 0.25 dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation while effectively filtering out-of-band interference.

Feature Summary

• 8-pole microwave cavity design for high-quality factor and steep skirt selectivity
• Optimized for indoor wireless signal conditioning and interference reduction
• N-Type connector interface for robust in-line module integration

Applications

• Indoor Wi-Fi network optimization
• Wireless LAN signal conditioning
• 2.4 GHz channel-specific interference mitigation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment is indoor, as the outdoor variant (BPF24-813A) differs in construction. Confirm that N-Type connectors are compatible with existing cabling infrastructure. Ensure the 22 MHz bandwidth aligns with the required Channel 13 specifications for the target wireless standard. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor installation is required for 2.4 GHz filtering. Compare against the BPF24-813A if outdoor weather resistance is necessary. Consider the 3 dB insertion loss budget when designing the link margin. Verify that the physical form factor fits the available rack or panel space. Ensure the center frequency matches the specific regulatory channel requirements for the region of operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to L-com's FIL series of signal conditioning filters. It is part of a family of 2.4 GHz bandpass filters designed for wireless infrastructure. The series includes variants for different pole counts and environmental ratings. These filters are engineered to improve signal-to-noise ratios in crowded RF environments by attenuating adjacent channel interference.

Replacement Considerations

The BPF24-813A is the outdoor-rated equivalent of this indoor unit. Both share similar electrical characteristics but differ in environmental sealing. Direct substitution requires verifying the installation environment constraints.
