FILTERS

Mini-Circuits continues to expand and diversify our design capabilities for RF filters to support
your applications. We’ve added new models to our revolutionary X-series reflectionless filterswith passbands up to 30 GHz, as well as cavity filters, and dual/differential LTCC filters!

6

AMPLIFIERS

Our popular PMA-series of ultra-wideband MMIC LNAs now includes 3 models covering frequency
ranges as wide as 0.5 to 15 GHz in a single model! We’ve even added connectorized versions
to support your test setups and cable assemblies. Other highlights include new dual matched andultra-high dynamic range MMIC models and 100W connectorized power amplifiers in rack-mountand space efficient case styles.

Product Overview

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits’ X-series reflectionless filters employ a novel, patented filter topology which absorbs and terminates
stopband signals internally rather than reflecting them back to the source. This new capability enables uniqueapplications for filter circuits beyond those suited to traditional approaches. By eliminating signal reflections,these revolutionary products eliminate intermods, ripples and other systemic problems associated withconventional filters. They’re perfect for pairing with non-linear devices such as mixers and multipliers,
significantly reducing unwanted signals generated due to non-linearity and dramatically improving system
dynamic range without isolation amplifiers or attenuators.

Mini-Circuits’ DLFCV-1000+ is a dual low pass filter designed into a single 1210 ceramic package.
This design allows customers to use a single unit in systems where two filters of the same passband
are required, saving board space. The dual filter can also be used as a differential filter in differential
circuits where interference and noise must be minimized. This model provides low passband insertion
loss, high stopband rejection and steep roll off. It supports a wide range of applications and is ideal
for minimizing interference at amplifier inputs and ADC outputs.

Now with new models covering passbands up to 30 GHz, they’re available in tiny QFN packages and in bare dieform. They’ll change the way you think about using filters in your design. Need a custom design? Call us to talkto our engineers about a reflectionless filter for your system requirements.

Product Overview

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits’ cavity 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 mechanicalfeature 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 comein rugged packages with a special powder-coated finish, which provides excellent protection against corrosion,
tarnishing and scratching. They’re tested for use in extreme temperatures up to 100°C. We offer cavity filters in awide range of passbands from 900 MHz to 12 GHz. Contact apps@minicircuits.com with your custom requirements!

Mini-Circuits’ TPLX-series of surface mount triplexers give designers a solution to split mixed signals into
three, well isolated output channels. They provide low passband insertion loss and are capable of handlingRF input power up to 2W. The come in miniature, shielded packages as small as 0.73 x 1.36 x 0.35" withwraparound terminations for excellent solderability. With channel splits spanning the 1 to 2700 MHz range,
TPLX series triplexers support popular application bands for telecommunications and broadband as well
as satellite communications.

Mini-Circuits’ PGA-122-75+ is a 75Ω MMIC amplifier with a frequency range from 40 to 1500 MHz,supporting bandwidth requirements for a wide range of CATV and broadband applications including
DOCSIS 3.1 compliant systems and equipment. Fabricated using E-PHEMT technology, this model
provides 15.5 dB gain with ±0.1 dB gain flatness, +43 dBm IP3, +54 dBm IP2, 21 dB reverse isolationand 2.9 dB noise figure. It operates on a single 9.0V supply and comes housed in a tiny SOT-89
package. An application circuit has been developed to provide outstanding amplifier performance
for CATV upstream applications in the 5 to 200 MHz band (see application note AN-60-087).

The 75Ω equipment often used in CATV applications occupies a small enclave of a largely 50Ω world.
Although dedicated 75Ω equipment does exist, its availability and its applicability to other test needs arelimited; most general-purpose test and measurement equipment is designed for 50Ω use. Because of this,it can be difficult to create test setups entirely out of dedicated 75Ω test equipment. Mini-Circuits offers
both matching transformers and minimum-loss resistive matching pads that can be used to interface 75Ω
DUTs with Mini-Circuits’ test and signal routing solutions to meet the diverse needs of a CATV test lab.

KF-KF50+ / KF-KM50+

Featuring ultra-flexible construction, Mini-Circuits ULC-series test cables are highly popular for lab and production
test applications where tight bends are needed. To give you more options and meet your needs, ULC-seriesmodels are now available in both SMA and N-Type connector options in a variety of lengths. All models are
specially designed for stability of phase and amplitude versus flexure in bend radii as tight as 2 inches(2.0" minimum dynamic bend radius, 0.7" minimum static bend radius), making them ideal for demanding lab
environments where frequent bending is common. Featuring rugged, triple-shielded cable construction with aunique molded boot, they give you the advantage of flexibility with outstanding reliability and durability for along life of use. Like all Mini-Circuits
test cables, the ULC-series models have been performance qualified to
FeatureAdvantage
20,000 bend cycles, so you can be confident you’re getting reliable performance that lasts.

Product Overview

For interconnection of your cable assemblies and test setups from DC up to 40 GHz, Mini-Circuits
offers 2.92mm adapters in both Female-to-Female and Male-to-Female versions. Mini-Circuits’
KF-KF50+ and KF-KM50+ adapters provide very low insertion loss (0.06 dB F-F version, 0.09 dB
F-M version) with flat response and excellent VSWR of 1.04:1 up to 40 GHz. The units featurerugged, passivated stainless steel construction with connectors qualified to 500 mating cycles toensure reliability you can count on.

Mini-Circuits’ 086-8SMPR+ HandFlex™ interconnect cable gives you yet another option for your connection needs! This newmodel features right-angle SMP-F blind mate snap-on connectors, ideal for simplifying connection of adjacent modules in tightlayouts without sacrificing high-frequency performance due to severe bending near the connector interface. Hand-formable
cable construction with minimum bend radius of 6mm allows almost any shape without the need for bending tools, adaptersor brackets. The connector interface meets MIL-STD-348 requirements, and an insulated outer jacket protects the cable fromwear and tear. This model is 8 inches in length and provides 24 dB return loss, 0.8 dB insertion loss, good power handling,
and operating temperature range from -55 to +105°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from military andaerospace systems to environmental test chambers and more. Other lengths available on request. It’s a perfect companion
product for Mini-Circuits’ ultra-thin splitter combiners with SMP snap-on connectors (ZN2PD-622SMP+ and ZB3PD-63SMP+)
and any cable assembly where reliable performance and easy connection in tight spaces are requirements.
