Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
The RF3446E is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to pro-
vide front-end selectivity in 433.92 MHz receivers. Receiver designs using this filter include superhet with
10.7 MHz or 500 kHz IF, direct conversion and superregen. Typical applications of these receivers are wire-
less remote-control and security devices operating in Europe under ETSI I-ETS 300 220.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Observe precautions for handling.
Notes:
1.
2.
Unless noted otherwise, all measurements are made with the filter installed in the specified test fixture which is connected to a 50 Ω test system with VSWR ≤ 1.2:1. The test fixture L and
C are adjusted for minimum insertion loss at the filter center frequency, fc. Note that insertion loss and bandwidth and passband shape are dependent on the impedance matching component
values and quality.
The frequency fc is defined as the midpoint between the 3dB frequencies.

4.
Where noted specifications apply over the entire specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C.
The turnover temperature, TO, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) frequency, fo. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, Tc, may be calculated from:
f = fo [1 - FTC (To - Tc)2].
5.
Frequency aging is the change in fc with time and is specified at +65°C or less. Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures above +65°C. Typically, aging is greatest
the first year after manufacture, decreasing significantly in subsequent years.
