RHP-180+

Overview

The RHP-180+ is a lumped LC high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface-mount technology. It operates within a frequency range of 300 MHz to 3000 MHz with a center frequency of 1.65 GHz and a bandwidth of 2.7 GHz. The component features an 8-SMD, no-lead package and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It is engineered for RF applications requiring precise signal filtering in the specified high-frequency band.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical parameters against current Mini-Circuits documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 300 MHz to 3000 MHz operating range aligns with system requirements. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm impedance networks. Check for any recent updates to the RoHS compliance status or package specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass filter is required for frequencies starting at 300 MHz up to 3 GHz. Consider the 8-SMD package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate insertion loss and rejection characteristics from the official datasheet to ensure they meet system noise and interference standards. Verify power handling capabilities if used in high-power transmission paths.

Part Context

The RHP-180+ belongs to Mini-Circuits' RHP series of high-pass filters. This series offers various cutoff frequencies and bandwidths for different RF applications. The component is part of a broader portfolio of passive RF components including low-pass and band-pass filters, mixers, and amplifiers, all designed for wireless and military use cases.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes within the RHP series. Alternative models may offer different cutoff frequencies or bandwidths. Ensure any replacement matches the 50 Ohm impedance and SMD package form factor. Verify that the alternative component meets the same environmental and performance specifications.
