Mini-Circuits Partners with Virginia Diodes to Introduce Waveguide Bandpass Filters

27 December 2018 – Mini-Circuits is pleased to announce our partnership with Virginia Diodes to introduce a new line of waveguide bandpass filters for millimeter wave applications. The initial offering includes 7 bandpass filter models with passbands spanning 27 to 86 GHz. The filters will incorporate standard WR-12 through WR-28 waveguide interfaces and provide very low insertion loss (1 dB typ.) with high stopband attenuation (40 dB typ.). These new models add waveguide capability to Mini-Circuits’ broad portfolio of filter technologies and continue the expansion of our offering into the millimeter wave bands to support customers developing next-generation wireless products.

Mini-Circuits' Worldwide Technical Marketing Manager, Steven Scheinkopf comments, "Mini-Circuits appreciates this opportunity to work with Virginia Diodes. We believe this partnership will bring two leaders in the RF and microwave world together to benefit the industry and bring leading edge products to our customers."

Waveguide filters are now available from stock on the Mini-Circuits website or through your local authorized Mini-Circuits sales representative.
