Overview
The ADMV8416ACPZ, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) that functions as a tunable band-pass filter. This component is designed to offer a user-selectable pass-band frequency, making it highly versatile for various communication systems. The filter's center frequency can be adjusted between 6.8 GHz and 16.8 GHz by applying an analog tuning voltage between 0 V and 15 V. This tunability allows the ADMV8416ACPZ to serve as a compact alternative to large switched filter banks and cavity-tuned filters, providing a dynamically adjustable solution with excellent microphonics due to its monolithic design.
