CTS Corporation MTB and MXB X-band filters

CTS Corporation’s MTB and MXB series surface-mount, ceramic bandpass filters have been designed to offer good rejection, insertion loss, and peak and average power handling.

Providing high performance in a small footprint, the monoblock ceramic frequency-signal bandpass filters are suitable for X-band satellite communications and radar, as well as sensors, IF filters, and test and measurement applications.

They offer centre frequency of 6–12 GHz; bandwidth of 0.15–2 GHz; insertion loss of 1.2–2.5 dB; return loss ≥10 dB; stopbands ≥30 dB; and input power of 2 W average/20 W peak.

The MTB series has a footprint of 9 x 3 x 3 mm and MXB measures 11.5 x 3 x 3.5 mm. In addition to standard, off-the-shelf versions, the series can be customised to support alternative requirements.
