Product Description
Reactel, Inc. 7BM-1650-X350-S11 Microwave Filter – Precision Bandpass Filter
This used Reactel, Inc. 7BM-1650-X350-S11 is a precision microwave filter designed for critical RF and microwave applications. Reactel is a leading manufacturer of high-performance filters, multiplexers, and related components for military, aerospace, and commercial applications.
Model Number Decoding
The model number provides important clues about the filter’s characteristics:
| Component | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 7BM | 7-section Bandpass filter |
| 1650 | Likely center frequency: 1650 MHz (1.65 GHz) |
| X350 | Likely bandwidth: 350 MHz |
| S11 | Connector type: SMA female (both ports) |
This suggests a 7-section bandpass filter centered at 1650 MHz with a 350 MHz bandwidth, fitted with SMA connectors.
