Mini-Circuits RLP-30+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits® RLP-30+ is a low-pass filter designed to allow signals below a certain frequency to pass while attenuating those above it. It provides excellent insertion loss, high power handling capability, and is housed in a compact, rugged metal package suitable for various applications in the RF and microwave spectrum. Functions - Frequency Selection: The RLP-30+ allows low frequencies to pass through while blocking higher frequencies. - Signal Conditioning: Helps in reducing unwanted high-frequency noise and harmonics. - Protection: Protects sensitive components by limiting the frequencies that can reach them. Applications - Communication Systems: Used in RF communication systems to filter out unwanted signals. - Test Equipment: Employed in laboratory test setups to ensure signal integrity. - Broadcast and Wireless: Utilized in broadcast applications to ensure that only desired frequencies are transmitted/received. Alternative Parts - Mini-Circuits® RLP-40+: A similar low pass filter with a slightly higher cutoff frequency. - Mini-Circuits® RLP-50+: An alternative option for applications requiring a different frequency response. - RFMW LFC-30: Another low-pass filter that may fit similar applications. Embedded Modules Mini-Circuits® also offers various embedded modules that incorporate filters and other RF components, which can include: - RF Amplifiers: These can provide gain while still incorporating filtering. - Mixers: Combining multiple signals where filtering is essential to avoid unwanted intermodulation products. - VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators): Often accompanied by filters for signal purity. Related Q&A 1. Q: What are the key specifications of the Mini-Circuits® RLP-30+? A: The RLP-30+ features a cutoff frequency of 30 MHz, insertion loss of approximately 1 dB, and can handle power levels up to 1W. It's designed for minimal variation in performance over temperature and frequency. 2. Q: Can the RLP-30+ be used in a microwave application? A: While the RLP-30+ is primarily designed for RF applications (up to 1 GHz), it may work in certain lower microwave applications depending on the specific requirements and the signals involved. 3. Q: What is the advantage of using a low-pass filter like the RLP-30+ in a communication system? A: Using a low-pass filter helps to maintain signal integrity by removing unwanted high-frequency noise and harmonics, ensuring that only the desired signal frequencies are amplified or transmitted. 4. Q: How do I select between the RLP-30+ and similar models? A: Selection should be based on the specific cutoff frequency required for your application, the level of insertion loss acceptable for your system, and power handling needs. Review the specifications of each model to choose accordingly. 5. Q: Is the Mini-Circuits® RLP-30+ RoHS compliant? A: Yes, the RLP-30+ is typically made to be RoHS compliant, which means it meets environmental regulations regarding hazardous materials. Always check the latest product datasheet for confirmation.
