TA2242A

Overview

The TA2242A is an RF Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by TST Tai-Saw Technology Co., Ltd. Designed for GPS applications, it operates at a center frequency of 1192 MHz with a bandwidth of 64 MHz. The device features typical insertion loss values ranging from 5.6 dB to 6.5 dB depending on the source specification. It is housed in an 8-SMD, No Lead package, specifically identified as SM3030-6PAD, suitable for surface mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for RF signal filtering
• Optimized for Global Positioning System (GPS) frequency bands
• Compact surface mount package design

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end filtering
• Satellite navigation modules
• Positioning devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as insertion loss specifications vary between 5.6 dB and 6.5 dB across different documentation sources. Confirm the package type matches the required footprint, typically SM3030-6PAD. Ensure compatibility with the target GPS frequency band of 1192 MHz during component selection.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring SAW-based filtering in the L-band GPS spectrum. Consider the trade-off between insertion loss performance and bandwidth requirements. The 8-SMD package dictates PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management needs relative to the power handling capabilities inherent to SAW filters in this form factor.
