GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV8420 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit
(MMIC), tunable band-pass filter that features a user-selectable
pass band frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately
20%, and the 20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 40%.
Additionally, the center frequency (fCENTER) varies between
11.1 GHz to 19.6 GHz by applying a center frequency control
voltage between 0 V to 15 V. The usable pass band corner
frequencies (fCORNER) span from 10 GHz to 21.7 GHz. This tunable
filter is a smaller alternative to switched filter banks and cavity
tuned filters. The ADMV8420 has minimal microphonics due
to the monolithic design and provides a dynamically adjustable
solution in advanced communications applications.
