Every Block Covered
A prior article in our Every Block Covered series explained cascade analysis of noise level, noise floor, bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio in a simple RF front end with a single gain stage. This installment builds on those concepts using a more complex front-end for the 5G n258 (26 GHz) band components from Mini-Circuits' catalog by way of example.
Reflectionless Filters
Mini-Circuits’ reflectionless filters are the only commercially available filters that absorb and internally terminate stopband signals rather than reflecting them back up the signal chain. Based on a novel, patented filter topology and produced with Mini-Circuits' industry-leading MMIC design and manufacturing capability, these devices are a revolutionary solution to a number of unwanted effects related to embedding conventional filters in system designs. Learn more below, and be sure to check out our full selection to see what they can do for your design!
