TEST SOLUTIONSHotNew Products
Test Setup for Multi-Channel
High-Temperature Operating Life ( HTOL) Testing
For cost-effective HTOL testing, it’s often desirable to test large numbers of units simultaneously.
This requires a system capable of distributing a test signal over many channels with a high powersignal source used to overcome the inevitable splitter losses.
The HPA-272+ 100W amplifier can be used to drive 80 test channels in a configuration similar tothat shown below. This setup is popular for use in high-throughput production testing applications
where parallel processing of many DUTs is a requirement.

REFLECTIONLESS FILTERSHigh Pass, Low Pass
and Band Pass Models

Low Pass Models

Passbands from DC to 21 GHz

Product Line Overview:
Mini-Circuits is proud to bring the industry a
revolutionary breakthrough in the longstanding
problem of signal reflections when embedding
filters in RF systems. Whereas conventional filters
are fully reflective in the stopband, our new X-Seriesreflectionless filters are matched to 50Ω in the
passband, stopband and transition, eliminatingintermods, ripples and other problems caused byreflections in the signal chain.
They’re perfect for pairing with non-linear devices
such as mixers and multipliers, significantly reducing
unwanted signals generated due to non-linearity andfor increasing system dynamic range by eliminating
matching attenuators. They’ll change the way you
think about using filters in your design!

While the conventional filter reduces thereflections present when the mixer is usedalone (no filter), the reflectionless filter virtuallyeliminates this reflections altogether.
The reflected signal at marker 1 (below)
exhibits a reduction of more than 20 dB from
-28.7 dBm to -50.3 dBm when the reflectionlessfilter us used as compared to the conventional
filter, thus eliminating unwanted spurious
mixing products and improving system
dynamic range.

Key Features• Patented design eliminates in-band spurs• Absorbs stopband signal power rather than reflecting it• Good impedance match in passband, stopband,and transition• Intrinsically cascadable• Passbands from DC to 21 GHz• Stopbands up to 35 GHz• Tiny 3x3mm QFN package✓ R eal test resultsfco (MHz)Nom.

An application circuit was assembled to measure
the IF reflection spectrum at the output of a mixer
when paired with a conventional filter versus areflectionless filter.

Narrow- Band, High-Selectivity Band Pass Filters
Overview
Mini-Circuits’ new ZVBP-series cavity band pass filters are designed for narrow-band, high selectivity applications.
They can provide bandwidths as narrow as 1% with very high selectivity and excellent low noise floor. These filters
include a unique mechanical feature that prevents accidental detuning that would otherwise require expensive
replacement or return to factory for re-tuning. This makes them very handy for field and lab applications where
hard use is common. They come in rugged packages with a special powder-coated finish, which not only looks
great, but also provides excellent protection against corrosion, tarnishing, and scratching. ZVBP-series filters aretested for use in extreme temperatures up to 100°C. They’re available in a wide range of passbands from
900 MHz to 12000 MHz. Contact apps@minicircuits.com for custom requirements!

STRIPLINE COUPLERS

High-Power Stripline Couplers
Overview
Mini-Circuits’ MBD series of surface mount couplers utilizes stripline construction to achieve extremely high power
handling – up to 300W – in miniature, low-profile devices with excellent coupling performance, high directivity,and excellent shielding. Available in a selection of bi-directional and dual directional models, these couplers are
ideal for a wide variety of applications from power amplifiers and antenna feeds to military applications and more!
