TA2016A

Overview

The TA2016A is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter designed for GPS RF applications. It operates at a center frequency of 876.5 MHz with a bandwidth of 35 MHz and an insertion loss of 3 dB. The component utilizes a 5-SMD, no-lead surface mount package with dimensions of 1.10 mm x 0.90 mm.

Feature Summary

• Surface acoustic wave technology for RF signal filtering
• Optimized for GPS receiver front-end applications
• Compact surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• GPS receiver modules
• RF front-end filtering in navigation devices
• Wireless communication systems requiring 876.5 MHz band selection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or tape and reel, as these may affect handling procedures. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SAW filter is required for GPS bands around 876.5 MHz. Consider the 5-SMD package size against available PCB real estate. Evaluate insertion loss specifications relative to system noise figure requirements to ensure adequate signal integrity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TST SAW filter family, which provides solutions for various wireless standards. The TA2016A specifically targets the L-band frequencies used in global positioning systems, offering a balance between performance and physical size for modern mobile electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains identical center frequency, bandwidth, and package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the circuit board.
