MtronPTI Announces the Release of a New ISM Band 915MHz SAW Filter for 4G/LTE Wireless Infrastructure and SmartGrid Applications

Dépèche transmise le 8 novembre 2011 par Business Wire

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MtronPTI (the “Company”), a world leader in frequency control and filter products, has introduced the new ISM Band 915 MHz RoHS SAW Filter RoHS compliant SAW filter (“SF2620R”). This new product is designed specifically for applications in the 4G/LTE wireless infrastructure, sensor networking and SmartGrid markets. The SF2620R has one of the smallest form factors, 1.4mm x 1.1mm x 0.7mm, available for a SAW filter designed for applications of these types.

“The ultra-small size, coupled with the outstanding performance characteristics of this product, frees the ISM band RF Design Engineer of concerns for overall system performance and will enable the inclusion of additional end product functionality, as well as the potential to reduce filter costs.”

The characteristics of the SF2620R has a typical 3dB bandwidth of 26MHz which makes it an ideal filter for wireless data transfer applications usually associated with SmartGrid sensor and data collection networking. The >40dB rejection at 846MHz and 990MHz insures that a wireless system utilizing the SF2620R meets all FCC requirements for adjacent channel interference mitigation for a device utilizing the license-free ISM band.

Bruce Mackie, Senior Applications Engineer, said, “The ultra-small size, coupled with the outstanding performance characteristics of this product, frees the ISM band RF Design Engineer of concerns for overall system performance and will enable the inclusion of additional end product functionality, as well as the potential to reduce filter costs.”

The advantage for the design engineer is that the minute size of the SF2620R, 1.4mm x 1.1mm x provides the system wide latitude in the application of the SF2620R, without concern for the wireless platform target. Due to the combined outstanding electrical and environmental performance characteristics, and the small footprint of the SF2620R, several applications can take advantage of this product’s performance specifications, including base station data collectors, vehicle mount remote readers, handheld readers and/or SmartGrid wireless utility meters, or the smallest of wireless sensors.

Availability is 8-9 weeks ARO in OEM volumes. For more information on MtronPTI’s SF2620R, or any of the Company’s other products, please contact MtronPTI at (605) 665-9321, or by e-mail [email protected].
