MA08506

Overview

The MA08506 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Golledge Electronics Ltd, designed for wireless RF applications. It operates at a nominal center frequency of 1228 MHz with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. The component features a maximum insertion loss of 3.9 dB and an input impedance of 50 ohms. It is housed in a 6-SMD, no-lead package.

Feature Summary

• Surface Acoustic Wave technology for signal filtering
• Optimized for wireless RF transmission systems
• Standard 50 ohm input impedance compatibility

Applications

• Wireless communication modules
• RF front-end filtering
• Signal processing in transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and pinout configurations before integration. Ensure that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits to maintain the rated insertion loss performance. Cross-reference the part number with official Golledge Electronics documentation to validate current production status and compliance certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass filter is required around the 1228 MHz frequency range. The 20 MHz bandwidth supports specific channel allocations in wireless standards. Consider the 6-SMD package size for PCB layout constraints and verify that the 3.9 dB insertion loss meets the system link budget requirements.

Part Context

This SAW filter belongs to the GSRF series from Golledge Electronics, targeting high-frequency RF applications. It complements other passive components like oscillators and crystals in complete signal chain designs. The device addresses the need for compact, reliable filtering solutions in modern wireless hardware architectures.
