Ideal Front-End Filter for Domestic Wireless Receivers

The RF1211C is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to pro-
vide front-end selectivity in 315.0 MHz receivers. Receiver designs using this filter include superhet with
10.7 MHz or 500 kHz IF, direct conversion and superregen. Typical applications of these receivers are wire-
less remote-control and security devices (especially for automotive keyless entry) operating in the USA
under FCC Part 15, in Canada under RSS-210, and in Italy
This coupled-resonator filter (CRF) uses selective null placement to provide suppression, typically greater
than 40 dB, of the LO and image spurious responses of superhet receivers with 10.7 MHz IF. RFM’s ad-
vanced SAW design and fabrication technology is utilized to achieve high performance and very low loss with
simple external impedance matching.

Notes:
1. Unless noted otherwise, all measurements are made with the filter installed in the specified test fixture which is connected to a 50
Ω
test system with
VSWR
≤
1.2:1. The test fixture L and C are adjusted for minimum insertion loss at the filter center frequency, f
c
. Note that insertion loss and band-
width and passband shape are dependent on the impedance matching component values and quality.
2. The frequency f
c
is defined as the midpoint between the 3dB frequencies.
3. Where noted specifications apply over the entire specified operating temperature range.
4. The turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) frequency, f

, may

Frequency aging is the change in fc with time and is specified at +65°C or less. Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures
above +65°C. Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing significantly in subsequent years.
The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject to change without notice.
