Mini-Circuits’ X-Series reflectionless filters employs a novel filter topology which absorbs and terminates
stop band signals internally rather than reflecting them back to the source. This new capability enables
unique applications for filter circuits beyond those suited to traditional approaches. Traditional filters are
reflective in the stop band, sending signals back to the source at 100% of the power level which interact
with neighboring components and often result in intermodulation and other interferences. Reflectionless
filters eliminate stop band reflections, allowing them to be paired with sensitive devices and used in applications that otherwise require circuits such as isolation amplifiers or attenuators.
