ACFF-125 LTE Band 41 Bandpass Filter Data Sheet Description The Avago ACFF-125 is a highly miniaturized LTE Band 41 (2496 269 MHz) bandpass filter combined with a WLAN/Wi-Fi band reject filter. The ACFF-125 is designed to operate in WiMAX transceiver applications which coexist with WLAN, Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth transmitters. The ACFF-125 is designed with Avago Technologies innovative Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) technology, which makes possible ultra-small, high-q filters at a fraction of their usual size. The excellent power handling capability of FBAR bulk-mode resonators supports the high output power levels used in mobile communications applications, while adding virtually no distortion. The ACFF-125 also utilizes Avago Technologies advanced Microcap bonded-wafer, chip scale packaging technology. This process allows the filter to be assembled into a molded chip-on-board module with an overall size of 2.5 x 2.5 mm and height of 1. mm.

Applications Information The Avago ACFF-125 is an LTE Band 41 (2496 269 MHz) bandpass filter combined with a WLAN/Wi-Fi band reject filter. The ACFF-125 is designed to operate in multi-radio system architectures such as illustrated in the simplified diagram in Figure 1. The steep, WLAN/Wi-Fi band-reject characteristic of the ACFF-125 allows Band 41 transceivers to successfully coexist in close proximity to WLAN, Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth radios. Use of Avago s companion Wi-Fi filter in the WLAN transceiver completes the architecture. Note: The ACFF-125 is not symmetrical. As shown in Figure 1, Port 2 is connected to the system Antenna and Port 1, which is designed for higher power handling, is connected to the Tx/Rx blocks. If either port of the ACFF-125 is connected to components having a DC voltage present, blocking capacitors should be used. Band 41 TRANSCEIVER 1 2 ANT Tx/Rx ACFF-125 AVAGO WLAN FILTER Figure 1.

Dimensions in mm 2. Top view A PCB layout using the principles illustrated in the figure above is recommended to optimize performance of the ACFF-125. Transmission line dimensions should be adjusted to maintain a Zo of 5 ohms. It is important to maximize isolation between the filter Input and Output ports. High isolation is achieved by: (1) maintaining a continuous ground plane around the I/O connections and filter mounting area, and (2) surrounding the I/O ports with sufficient ground vias to enclose the connections in a Faraday cage. Ground vias under the ACFF-125 mounting area also provide heat sinking for the device to minimize shifting of the pass band over temperature. 8
