XHF2-1162+

Overview

The XHF2-1162+ is a reflectionless high-pass filter MMIC from Mini-Circuits, designed for microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 11,600 MHz to 30,000 MHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features a 20.8 GHz center frequency and an 18.4 GHz bandwidth. It exhibits a typical insertion loss of 1.6 dB. Packaged in a compact 6-TDFN exposed pad surface-mount configuration, it integrates internal termination to absorb stop-band signals, eliminating the need for external terminations.

Feature Summary

• Employs a novel reflectionless topology that internally absorbs and terminates stop-band signals rather than reflecting them.

Applications

• Microwave signal conditioning systems
• RF front-end filtering assemblies
• High-frequency transmission line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version against the manufacturer's official documentation before integration. Confirm that the 6-TDFN package footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the exposed pad design. Validate that the 11.6 GHz to 30 GHz operational range aligns with your system's spectral requirements. Check for RoHS and REACH compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when reflectionless performance is critical to prevent signal interference in sensitive RF chains. The integrated absorption capability simplifies circuit design by removing the need for external load terminations. Consider the SMT package for automated assembly processes. Evaluate the 1.6 dB insertion loss against system noise budget constraints. Verify compatibility with standard 50 Ohm system impedances.

Part Context

This component belongs to Mini-Circuits' XHF2 series of reflectionless filters. These MMICs are engineered to provide superior stop-band rejection without the signal reflections associated with traditional filter topologies. The series supports various frequency ranges across the microwave spectrum, offering designers a compact solution for high-performance signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Consult Mini-Circuits directly for equivalent or alternative components within their portfolio that meet similar frequency and reflectionless specifications.
