Technical Specifications:

While detailed specifications for the SAWFD1G96AR1F0AR15 require access to the Murata datasheet, typical SAW filter characteristics include:

• Center Frequency (f0): 1.96 GHz
• Bandwidth: Specific to application.
• Insertion Loss: Typically a few dB
• Attenuation: High attenuation outside the passband
• Impedance: Usually 50 Ohms
• Operating Temperature Range: Typically -40°C to +85°C

The SAWFD1G96AR1F0AR15 utilizes piezoelectric materials to convert electrical signals into mechanical waves on the surface of the device. These waves interact with patterned electrodes to achieve the desired filtering characteristics. The filter is housed in a compact ceramic package designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
