■ DESCRIPTION

The F1, F2 and F3 Series were developed as timing extraction filters for primary, secondary, and tertiary digital communication devices.

This new all-solid-state bandpass filter (BPF) uses a piezoelectric with a large electromechanical coefficient (lithium tantalate: LiTaO3). The filter has a wide bandwidth, and is very stable.

■ FEATURES

• Wide frequency range 1.5 to 100MHz

• Wide fractional bandwidth (): 0.1 to 2.5

• Low insertion loss: 6dB or less

• Excellent temperature characteristics: 1.5 to 35MHz: ±400ppm or less (0 to 60°C)

36 to 100MHz: –30ppm/°C (0 to 60°C)

• Small frequency deviation ∆fO < ±500ppm eliminating the need for adjustment

• Highly reliable hermetically sealed package

• Compatible with small 14-pin DIP IC
