The Ku1960 from Mercury Systems is a Space-Qualified Bandpass Filter designed for high-reliability satellite communications and mission-critical RF systems. Optimized for Ku-band applications, it operates across the 17.3–17.7 GHz passband, ensuring precise signal filtering in demanding space and ground-based environments.
Engineered for superior RF performance, the Ku1960 features a maximum insertion loss of just 1.0 dB with an impressive 0.25 dB insertion loss flatness, enabling consistent signal integrity across the band. It delivers strong out-of-band suppression with 40 dB rejection and maintains an excellent 1.3:1 VSWR, supporting stable, low-reflection operation.
The filter is equipped with 3.5 mm female connectors, providing compatibility with high-frequency instrumentation and space-grade interconnect systems. Compact and lightweight, it weighs only 0.2 lb and measures 0.5 x 1 x 2.3 inches, making it suitable for size-constrained aerospace platforms.
The Ku1960 is ideal for communication satellites, satellite payload subsystems, and high-performance test and measurement equipment requiring reliable Ku-band filtering.
