ZVBP-18R7G-S+

Overview

The ZVBP-18R7G-S+ is a coaxial cavity band pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications in the microwave frequency range. It operates within a passband of 18.2 to 19.2 GHz and features a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 0.7 dB, a typical return loss of 22 dB, and high rejection capabilities reaching 80 dB. The component supports a power handling capacity of 5 watts and offers a wide stopband extending up to 40 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial cavity construction for robust signal conditioning
• Wide stopband performance extending up to 40 GHz
• High power handling capability of 5 watts
• Low insertion loss and high rejection characteristics

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Signal conditioning modules
• RF front-end filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when procuring the ZVBP-18R7G-S+ to ensure compliance with current manufacturing standards. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Cross-reference the 5-watt power rating against actual operational thermal conditions. Ensure the 18.2–19.2 GHz passband aligns precisely with the target application frequency plan before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high power handling and wide stopband rejection are critical for S-band or C-band adjacent applications. The coaxial cavity design provides superior stability compared to planar filters. Consider the 50-ohm impedance match for standard RF infrastructure compatibility. Evaluate the 0.7 dB insertion loss impact on overall system noise figure if low-loss performance is a primary constraint.
