Mini-Circuits LFCN-95+

Mini-Circuits LFCN-95+ Environmental and export classification status description

of Mini-Circuits® LFCN-95+ The Mini-Circuits® LFCN-95+ is a low pass filter designed to allow signals below a specified cutoff frequency to pass through while attenuating signals above that frequency. It is often used to reduce high-frequency noise and improve signal quality in various electronic applications. Functions - Signal Filtering: The primary function is to provide a low pass filter effect, which means it allows frequencies below the cutoff (95 MHz) to pass while attenuating frequencies above that threshold. - Signal Integrity Improvement: Helps in maintaining signal integrity by filtering out unwanted high-frequency components, thus improving overall performance. - Impedance Matching: Designed to match standard impedances, typically 50 ohms, ensuring maximum power transfer and minimal reflection in RF applications. Applications - Communication Systems: Used in RF communication systems to filter out high-frequency noise and provide clean signal transmission. - Test and Measurement: Useful in laboratory setups for testing where a clean signal is essential for accurate measurements and analysis. - Broadcasting: Employed in broadcasting applications to limit bandwidth and reduce out-of-band signals. - Audio Systems: Can be used in audio applications to filter out high-frequency noise from audio signals. Alternative Parts - Mini-Circuits® LFCN-75+: A similar low pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 75 MHz, suitable for different applications where a lower cutoff is needed. - Mini-Circuits® LFCN-100+: Another alternative with a higher cutoff frequency of 100 MHz, providing more flexibility depending on the system requirements. - Other Manufacturers: There are alternatives from brands like AVX or Murata that offer comparable low pass filter components that could fit similar design requirements. Embedded Modules - Mini-Circuits offers various embedded modules that utilize low pass filters for applications in integrated circuits and systems. These modules may include: - Amplifier Modules: Integrated with low pass filters for noise suppression. - Mixers: Where filtering is necessary for managing unwanted signals during frequency conversion. - RF Front Ends: Incorporating low pass filters as part of a comprehensive RF filtering solution.
