"Helping RF Designers one Bite at a time"

Prototype PCBs Ready for Your Components

As RF Designers, we know there are times when you simply need a PCB with a filter layout to solder down your newly simulated RF filter. We have designed a set of RF Filter PCBs that should accommodate most of your lumped element filter designs. You can even purchase a PCB shield to solder down if you want to mount your design in a system. We have designed a set of filter PCBs with layouts that accommodate most Low Pass, High Pass, and Band Pass filter types.

Filter Topologies Available

Elliptic (Cauer):

Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass

Chebyshev:

Low Pass or High Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject

Butterworth:

Low Pass or High Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject

Gaussian:

Low Pass or High Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject

PCB Shields Available for all Boards

    ■ Pi- and T- section layouts available.

    ■ Pad sizes fit standard 0603 surface mount
       components.
