. Part of the CMB family of Metro-cell TDD Bandpass Filters
. Choice for either PCB mounting with pins, or with various
connectors (SMA, SMP-Max, etc.) and mounting brackets
Estimated
Part Dimensions: 65 × 38 × 20 mm • 132g
Materials: Ag plated ceramic block
Applications
. Wireless Infrastructure applications
. High-performance carrier-grade TDD basestations up to 20W at the antenna port
. Wide-band DAS, Repeaters, or small-cells including support for WiFi co-location
Description
Ceramic waveguide bandpass filter based on ClearPlex technology supports TDD frequency bands. Provides
superior rejection, insertion loss, reliability, as well as both peak and average power handling compared to other
ceramic technologies. Performance is comparable to compact Air Cavity in dramatically smaller size.

NOTE: Use with RLF0270A lowpass filter to assure high-frequency suppression over 4.2-12.75GHz
Note: CTS tests each unit to the critical specifications above.
Subsequent audits may deviate due to repeatability among
different test systems which shall not exceed these allowances.
