How does the 50 Ohm data compare with actual performance in my system?
The 50 Ohm insertion loss data which appears in our catalog represents an industry standard to allow comparison of different manufacturers’ products against a known standard. Since filters are source and load impedance sensitive and the actual load impedance varies greatly from system to system, often a test is the easiest way to determine the actual performance within a specific system..
The 50 Ohm insertion loss data which appears in our catalog represents an industry standard to allow comparison of different manufacturers’ products against a known standard. The accurate assessment of a filter within a particular system requires an accurate model of the system input and output impedances. Aerovox strongly recommends that you discuss any new filter application with our application engineers to confirm the proper selection of a filter which offers the best impedance mismatch effect.
