Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ Coaxial-Ceramic Resonator filters offer low insertion loss in very small form factors, using ceramic
materialꢀwithꢀhighꢀdielectricꢀconstantꢀandꢀsuperiorꢀQꢀfactor.ꢀBandpassꢀandꢀbandstopꢀfilters,diplexerꢀandꢀmultiplexerꢀ
designsꢀ canꢀ beꢀ constructedꢀ usingꢀ thisꢀ technology.ꢀ Lowꢀ insertionꢀ lossꢀ combinedꢀ withꢀ excellentꢀ powerꢀ handlingꢀ
makesꢀtheseꢀfiltersꢀwellꢀsuitedꢀforꢀtransmitterꢀandꢀreceiverꢀsignalꢀchains.ꢀAdvancedꢀfilterꢀdesignꢀandꢀconstructionꢀ
