Monolythic Crystal Filters

Filter Characteristics
Critical to the understanding of filter behavior is a definition of the vocabulary of the most frequently used terms and familiarity with the typical filter amplitude frequency response curve, (fig. 1). Center Frequency (F0) The frequency between the high and low cut off frequencies of a filter. Bandwith (BW) The difference between two cut off frequencies at a specified attenuation level (3dB or 6dB). Attenuation Reduction of signal in transmission through a filter. (Attenuation is usually indicated in decibels dB). Decibel Unit that shows the ratio between two powers, two voltages or two currents. Insertion Loss Power loss of the filter in the passband (in dB). Zero dB reference shall be the point of maximum output of the filter unless it is specified otherwise. Termination Impedance A value to terminate the filter input/output. It is generally expressed by resistance with parallel to capacitance which contains stray capacitance.

Insertion Loss = 10 Log Pin Pout

Load Impedance (Output termination) The impedance connected to the output terminals of the filter in order to achieve the proper response. Spurious Mode Unwanted responses that occur in the filter due to resonant frequncies of the crystal other than the fundamental frequency.

Shape Factor Ratio of bandwidths at two different levels of attenuation. Ripple Is the difference between the passband maximum value and minimum loss.
