Mini-Circuits TPCN & TPCV Thru-Line LTCC Filters

Mini-Circuits TPCN and TPCV Thru-Line LTCC Filters are miniature low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) transmission lines that are "thru-line" compatible with LTCC filters. This allows user design flexibility to add filters to a PCB layout during a late design stage. The filters' LTCC construction is suitable for harsh environments, including high humidity and temperature extremes. The filters are available in 1206 or 1210 package sizes and feature low insertion losses with a rugged power handling capability. The Mini-Circuits TPCN and TPCV Thru-Line LTCC Filters are a versatile "placeholder" and ensure minimal RF performance variation. The TPCN and TPCV series are ideal for various communication applications, including electronic warfare (EW), radar, electronic countermeasure (ECM) defense systems, 5G MIMO radio, backhaul radio, and satellite communication.
