VHFG-1630+

Overview

The VHFG-1630+ is a high-pass RF filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for operation within the 1850 MHz to 11000 MHz frequency range. It features a 50-ohm impedance and utilizes SMA connectors in an inline module configuration. The component offers an insertion loss between 0.9 dB and 2 dB, with a bandwidth of 9150 MHz. It supports power handling capabilities ranging from 2.5 W to 4 W. Constructed using rugged unibody technology, it ensures good matching characteristics across its passband.

Feature Summary

• High-pass filtering capability covering 1850 MHz to 11000 MHz
• Rugged unibody construction for durability
• SMA connector interface for inline integration
• Low insertion loss performance

Applications

• Communications systems
• Radar applications
• Electronic warfare (EW) systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update specifications over time. Confirm that the SMA connector gender matches your system requirements, as listings indicate male connectors. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified power handling limits of 2.5W to 4W to prevent damage. Check RoHS and REACH compliance status if required for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass filter is needed for frequencies starting at 1.85 GHz up to 11 GHz. The 50-ohm impedance makes it suitable for standard RF test and measurement equipment. Consider the unibody construction if mechanical robustness is a priority. Evaluate the insertion loss range against your system's signal budget requirements before finalizing the design.

Part Context

The VHFG series represents Mini-Circuits' line of coaxial LTCC high-pass filters. These components are part of a broader family offering various cutoff frequencies. The VHFG-1630+ specifically targets higher frequency ranges compared to lower-frequency variants in the same series, providing a specialized solution for wideband high-pass applications in RF circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult Mini-Circuits directly for equivalent models or cross-reference with other manufacturers offering similar SMA high-pass filters in the 1.85–11 GHz range.
