XHF2-153+

Overview

The XHF2-153+ is a reflectionless high-pass filter from Mini-Circuits, designed for microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 15300 to 30000 MHz, with a center frequency of 22.65 GHz and a bandwidth of 14.7 GHz. The device features an insertion loss of 1.8 dB and utilizes a 6TDFN mounting type. This component employs a novel topology that absorbs stop-band signals, eliminating the need for external terminations.

Feature Summary

• Reflectionless design that absorbs stop-band signals internally
• High-pass filter functionality for signal conditioning
• Compact 6TDFN surface-mount package

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Radar subsystems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and ordering suffixes when sourcing. Confirm the physical footprint matches the 6TDFN specification for PCB layout compatibility. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the component's rated frequency range of 15300 to 30000 MHz. Check for any specific handling requirements associated with MMIC devices during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when internal termination of reflected energy is required to prevent system instability. The reflectionless topology simplifies circuit design by removing the need for additional load resistors. Consider the 1.8 dB insertion loss and the 15300-30000 MHz operational window when evaluating signal integrity requirements for high-frequency microwave links.
