1.95 GHz to 3.4 GHz, Tunable Band-Pass Filter

The HMC891ALP5E is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) band-pass filter that features a user-selectable pass band frequency. The 3 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 9% and the 20 dB filter bandwidth is approximately 23%. The center frequency (fCENTER) can be varied between 1.95 GHz and 3.4 GHz by applying an analog tune voltage between 0 V and 14 V.

This tunable filter can be used as a smaller alternative to physically large switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters.

The HMC891ALP5E has excellent microphonics due to the monolithic design, and provides a dynamically adjustable solution in advanced communications applications.
