ZBSS-3G-S+

Overview

The ZBSS-3G-S+ is a suspended substrate band pass filter from Mini-Circuits, designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2000 to 4000 MHz with a center frequency of 3 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance rating and utilizes SMA connectors for in-line module integration. It exhibits an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and is constructed using suspended substrate stripline technology to achieve high Q values. The unit supports chassis mounting and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Suspended substrate stripline construction provides high Q values and low insertion loss by suspending the PCB between parallel ground planes.
• Wide operational bandwidth from DC to 26 GHz available within the ZBSS series, ensuring compatibility with diverse RF signal processing needs.
• Robust mechanical design allows for secure chassis mounting, suitable for demanding environmental conditions.

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Frequency selection in upconverter assemblies
• Microwave component filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct connector type and impedance matching. Confirm RoHS and REACH compliance status as required by your project specifications. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical parameters or mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a band pass filter with a 3 GHz center frequency and 2 GHz bandwidth is required. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm rating. Consider the physical height constraint of approximately 17.74 mm for chassis integration. Verify that the operating temperature range meets your environmental requirements.
