• 5 GHz WLAN systems (IEEE 802.11a/n/ac)
• Wi-Fi routers and access points
• Wireless repeaters and extenders
• Mobile devices (smartphones, tablets)
• Wireless video transmission systems

Features:

• High rejection of unwanted signals
• Low insertion loss in the passband
• Small surface-mount package
• Operation in the 5 GHz UNII band (5.15 - 5.85 GHz)
• Excellent power handling capability
• RoHS compliant

Benefits:

• Improved signal quality and range in wireless communication systems
• Reduced interference from unwanted signals
• Increased data throughput
• Enhanced reliability due to robust design
• Simplified integration into compact devices
• Compliance with environmental regulations

Additional Details:

The TQM6M4050 utilizes BAW filter technology to achieve superior performance compared to traditional SAW filters. The BAW structure allows for steeper filter skirts and higher rejection levels, which are critical for co-existence with other wireless services operating in the same frequency band. The device is typically matched to 50 ohms, simplifying integration into existing RF front-end designs. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. This filter is crucial in ensuring clean and efficient wireless communication in demanding environments.
