RHP-290+

Overview

The RHP-290+ is a lumped LC high-pass RF filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 430 MHz to 3100 MHz and is designed for 50Ω systems. The component features an SMD package with no lead configuration, specifically an 8-SMD footprint. Key electrical specifications include a maximum power handling capability of 0.5 W and a VSWR of 1.2:1. It provides 30 dB attenuation at 150 MHz, ensuring effective rejection of lower frequency signals while passing the designated high-frequency band.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-pass filtering functionality for radio frequency signal conditioning
• Utilizes lumped LC circuit topology for compact integration
• Designed for 50Ω impedance matching in RF systems

Applications

• Radio telescope signal processing
• Transmitter and receiver front-end filtering
• Wireless communication systems
• Military RF applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturing date code upon ordering. Confirm that the 8-SMD no-lead package dimensions align with your PCB layout requirements. Ensure that the 0.5 W power rating is sufficient for your application's peak signal levels to prevent component damage. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding moisture sensitivity during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass response starting near 290 MHz is required. It is suitable for designs needing low insertion loss above 430 MHz and significant attenuation below the cutoff. Consider the 8-SMD package size for space-constrained boards. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 0.5 W power limit. Compare against other Mini-Circuits RHP series models if different cutoff frequencies are needed.
