XHF-53H+

Overview

The XHF-53H+ is a reflectionless high-pass filter from Mini-Circuits, designed for RF applications between 5000 MHz and 11000 MHz. It features an 8 GHz center frequency with a 6 GHz bandwidth. The component exhibits an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and utilizes a three-section topology to absorb stop-band signals internally. It is housed in a DG1847 package, specifically a 24-VFQFN with an exposed pad, measuring 4.00mm x 4.00mm.

Feature Summary

• Reflectionless design that absorbs and terminates stop-band signals internally rather than reflecting them
• Three-section topology providing ultra-high rejection in the stopband, up to 50 dB
• Surface mount construction in a compact 24-VFQFN package with an exposed pad

Applications

• RF signal conditioning systems requiring high-pass filtering
• Microwave circuits operating within the 5-11 GHz range
• Applications demanding minimal signal reflection in the stopband

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical characteristics against official Mini-Circuits documentation before integration. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure environmental ratings align with operational conditions. Cross-reference part numbers to avoid confusion with similar models in the X-series family.

Selection Notes

Select this component when internal termination of reflected energy is critical to system stability. The reflectionless architecture prevents standing waves that can affect upstream components. Consider the 2.5 dB insertion loss impact on overall link budget. Evaluate the 50 dB stopband rejection capability against specific interference requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to Mini-Circuits' X-Series of reflectionless filters, which includes two- and three-section models. The series is engineered for ultra-high rejection in the stopband. The XHF-53H+ specifically represents a high-pass variant within this lineup, utilizing novel topology to manage signal reflections effectively.
