PE87FL1004

Overview

The PE87FL1004 is a six-section bandpass filter manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz, providing a 500 MHz passband with a center frequency of 12.45 GHz. The device features SMA female connectors and exhibits an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. Designed as a passive RF component, it is housed in a module package suitable for signal conditioning applications requiring precise frequency selection in the microwave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Six-section passive bandpass filter design
• SMA female connector interface
• Microwave frequency operation

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Microwave communication systems
• Frequency selective filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE87FL1004 before integration. Confirm that the SMA female connector type matches your system requirements. Ensure the operating environment supports the specified microwave frequencies. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate the insertion loss specifications against your system budget.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 500 MHz bandwidth is required around 12.45 GHz. The six-section architecture provides steep roll-off characteristics compared to simpler designs. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing test or production equipment. Evaluate the 1.5 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. This model is suitable for applications demanding stable performance in the Ka-band range.
