CASE STYLE: FV1206  
Product Overview  
The BFCN-3600+ LTCC Bandpass Filter is constructed using multilayer ceramic technology to achieve miniature size  
and high repeatability of performance. Wrap-around terminations minimize variations in performance due to parasitics.  
Covering 3600 MHz
 
300 MHzꢀ these units offer low insertion loss and good reꢁection at the band reꢁect edges.  
Key Features  
Feature  
Advantages  
Flat group delay (
 
33pS)  
The model has flat group delay which ensures low distortion.  
Sharp shape factor  
Sharp shape factor helps in adꢁacent channel reꢁection and hence increased selectivity.  
Good VSWRꢀ 1.2:1 typical over passband
 
This provides well matched input and output ports.  
Wrap around termination  
LTCC construction  
Provides excellent solderability and easy visual inspection capability.  
Provides a rugged package that is well suited for tough environments including high humidity and  
high temperature extremes  
Small sizeꢀ 0.12″ x 0.6″ x 0.4″  
The surface mount package enables BFCN-3600+ to be used in compact designs.
