FSF-5050 440–446MHz IF SAW Filters, 5×5mm UHF IF
8-SMD, 5.0x5.0
FEATURE
Product Description
FSF-5050-440M~446M IF SAW Filter Series
A focused collection of 5.0×5.0mm SMD SAW filters for 440–446 MHz UHF IF selectivity. Built on a 50Ω interface to deliver dependable insertion loss, solid out-of-band rejection and consistent manufacturing performance for narrowband wireless receivers.
Designed for UHF IF chains in private networks, industrial RF modules and professional receiver front ends where channel selectivity and repeatable production performance matter. For program-level optimization, ask for the exact bandwidth/temperature grade that matches your IF plan.
Positioning & Key Design Highlights
The FSF-5050-440M~446M series is part of FCom Fuji Crystal’s UHF IF SAW portfolio, designed to support 440–446 MHz channel selection needs across private networks and industrial narrowband receivers. The 5×5mm footprint helps simplify high-density RF/IF layouts while maintaining stable performance.
- Compact 5.0×5.0mm SMD for space-sensitive IF designs.
- Typical insertion loss around 1.4–2.3 dB (model-dependent).
- Multiple bandwidth and temperature grades for civilian and industrial use.
- 50Ω source/load design for straightforward system integration.
Typical Applications
- UHF private radio / two-way systems
- Industrial telemetry, control and data links
- Wireless audio and auxiliary communication terminals
- Multi-stage receivers requiring narrow IF selectivity
If you need a tailored passband, specific skirt requirements or adjacent center frequencies, we can evaluate customized SAW designs based on your system targets.
Target Systems & Typical IF Placement
Target Systems
- UHF private networks and narrowband terminals
- Professional wireless receiver IF stages and multi-IF architectures
- Industrial RF modules and telemetry/data-link receivers
- Receiver chains in test/measurement IF subsystems
If your program references regional channel plans or internal standards, share the blocker scenario and adjacent-channel constraints during RFQ to align skirts and ripple.
Typical IF Placement
In most superheterodyne receivers, an IF SAW filter is placed after the mixer (or first IF amplifier) to provide channel selectivity before high-gain stages and demodulation. Maintaining a controlled 50Ω environment around the filter helps preserve the intended passband shape and rejection.
Keep the filter close to the IF amplifier/mixer, control ground return, and avoid long stubs that can introduce impedance discontinuities.

Integrating into a 50Ω IF Chain
- Keep impedance continuity across microstrip/stripline transitions.
- Verify return loss when paired with high-gain IF amplifiers.
- Use minimal L/C trimming only if board-level results call for it.
Temperature Planning & Production Consistency
- Choose extended temperature grades for outdoor/industrial terminals.
- Validate drift and skirt performance during EVT/DVT.
- We can support batch trend data to help tighten your design margin.
