• Provides bandpass filtering characteristics with low insertion loss
• Engineered for operation across the specified microwave frequency spectrum

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radar signal processing
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific WR-42 interface compatibility and frequency range requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the 0.5 dB insertion loss specification meets your link budget constraints. Ensure mechanical dimensions align with your enclosure or mounting structure. Review the official datasheet for detailed electrical performance curves and environmental ratings to guarantee reliable operation in your intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a WR-42 waveguide interface is required for frequencies between 17.7 GHz and 23.55 GHz. Consider the 0.5 dB insertion loss impact on system sensitivity. Evaluate mechanical integration needs for waveguide components. Compare against other Pasternack filters if different interfaces or bandwidths are necessary for the specific design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF filter product line, specifically focusing on waveguide technology. Waveguide filters are typically used in high-power and high-frequency applications where coaxial connectors may introduce excessive loss. The WR-42 standard defines the physical dimensions and operating band for this type of component.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the WR-42 interface and the 17.7 GHz to 23.55 GHz operational range. Verify insertion loss specifications do not exceed 0.5 dB. Check mechanical footprint compatibility. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for equivalent waveguide filter models from other suppliers.
