Abstract :
A single-ended input to balanced output 425MHz mechanically coupled electromechanical filter is presented. This technology provides 1MHz channel select filtering while eliminating the need for RF switches and baluns in front-end transceivers. The filter achieves 8dB insertion loss with -50dB stop-band rejection and -48dB common-mode suppression
