KYOCERA AVX Multilayer Organic (MLO) filters

KYOCERA AVX’s Multilayer Organic (MLO) filters are low-profile passive devices with good performance based on the company’s patented multilayer organic high-density interconnect technology. The range includes high-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters.

The filters utilise high dielectric constant and low-loss materials to realise high-Q passive printed elements, such as inductors and capacitors, in a multilayer stack. They can support a variety of frequency bands and multiple wireless standards and are less than 1 mm in thickness.

Additional key features and benefits include: wide frequency range; good isolation; low loss; 50Ω impedance; no performance variance with temperature changes; surface mountable; and high part-to-part and lot-to-lot repeatability.

All filters are expansion-matched to most organic PCB materials, resulting in improved performance over standard silicon and ceramic devices, the company says. Typical applications include mobile communication, GPS, vehicle location systems, wireless LANs, satellite receivers and instrumentation.
