The RF1181B is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to provide front-end selectivity in 916.5 MHz receivers. Receiver designs using this filter include superhet with 10.7 MHz IF, direct conversion and superregen. Typical applications of these receivers are wireless remote control and security, data telemetry, and meter reading devices operating in the USA under FCC Part 15 and in Canada under DoC RSS-210.

This coupled-resonator filter (CRF) uses selective null placement to provide suppression, typically greater than 40 dB, of the LO and image spurious responses of superhet receivers with 10.7 MHz IF. RFM’s advanced SAW design and fabrication technology is utilized to achieve high performance and very low loss with simple external impedance matching (not included). Our new patent pending solder seal process utilizes a Faraday shield lid, which improves out of band rejection.
