PE8706

Overview

The Pasternack PE8706 is a four-section bandpass filter designed for RF applications. It operates within the frequency range of 869 MHz to 894 MHz, providing a 25 MHz passband centered at 881.5 MHz. The device features SMA female connectors and exhibits an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. Constructed as a module, it supports GSM communication standards and utilizes a robust design suitable for integration into wireless systems requiring precise frequency selection.

Feature Summary

• Four-section bandpass architecture for enhanced signal selectivity
• Integrated SMA female connectors for standardized interfacing
• Optimized for GSM band operation with defined center frequency
• Low insertion loss characteristic for efficient signal transmission

Applications

• GSM communication systems
• RF signal filtering modules
• Wireless infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required connector type matches the SMA female specification documented for this model. Confirm the operating frequency range aligns with the 869 MHz to 894 MHz parameters. Ensure environmental conditions meet the component's operational limits. Check for any specific mounting requirements associated with the module form factor before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 25 MHz bandwidth is required around 881.5 MHz. The four-section design offers superior rejection characteristics compared to simpler filters. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing system cabling. Evaluate the 1.5 dB insertion loss against system power budget constraints to ensure adequate signal integrity.
