PBP-10.7+

Overview

The PBP-10.7+ is a fixed-frequency elliptic bandpass filter designed for radio frequency applications. It operates with a center frequency of 10.7 MHz and provides a bandwidth ranging from 9.5 to 11.5 MHz. The component features a nominal insertion loss of 1.5 dB and is engineered for a system impedance of 50 ohms. It utilizes an 8-DIP package configuration and supports a maximum RF power input of 0.5 watts.

Feature Summary

• Elliptic response characteristic providing steep skirt selectivity
• Fixed center frequency operation at 10.7 MHz
• High rejection capability for interference suppression
• Robust 8-DIP module construction

Applications

• Military high-reliability systems
• Applications requiring high signal rejection
• Intermediate frequency filtering in communication receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision, such as REV. C (M151107), to ensure alignment with current manufacturing specifications. Confirm that the 8-DIP package style matches the intended PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 50-ohm impedance standard to maintain optimal performance characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10.7 MHz center frequency is required for intermediate frequency stages. The elliptic response makes it suitable for scenarios demanding sharp cutoff characteristics. Consider the 8-DIP form factor for through-hole mounting needs. Validate that the 0.5W power handling capacity meets the system's signal strength requirements.
