FSF-5050 SAW filter family hub (5.0×5.0mm): full variant catalog (76.5–1000 MHz), band directory, quick filters, matching/layout tips, and links to each product page.
FSF-5050 SAW Filters (5.0×5.0mm) — SAW Filter Family Hub
Your single entry point for the FSF-5050 SAW filter family: band directory, quick filters, engineering notes, and direct links to each variant page.
Designed for IF/RF receiver chains where compact size, stable band selection and practical stopband control are required across VHF/UHF and sub-GHz systems.
SAW filters use interdigital transducers on a piezoelectric substrate to convert electrical energy into surface waves and back, creating a selective response for IF/RF chains. The FSF-5050 family focuses on practical VHF/UHF/sub-GHz selections in a compact 5.0×5.0mm SMD package.
Engineering note: achievable bandwidth/insertion loss/rejection depend on the selected variant and the external matching network. Always finalize against the variant datasheet and your system mask.

Best-fit uses
IF chains, VHF/UHF radios, sub-GHz receiver front ends
Typical IF placement (receiver chain)
FSF-5050 SAW filters are commonly placed where selectivity protects gain blocks from blockers and spurs.
Antenna → LNA → (preselect) → SAW Filter → Mixer → IF Amp/ADC → Demod Common roles: • IF channel shaping in super-heterodyne designs • Image/mirror suppression (system-dependent) • Front-end blocker mitigation before sensitive gain stages
Target systems / standards (examples)
Professional radio / public safety VHF-UHF receiver chains
Sub-GHz ISM receivers (regional band plans: 433/470/868/915 ecosystems)
Telecom and general IF/RF blocks where masking and adjacent-channel rejection matter
Pick the closest Fc to your target band and verify tolerance across temperature and production.
Bandwidth (BW)
Wider BW typically increases insertion loss and tightens trade-offs with stopband and group-delay flatness.
Insertion loss & ripple
Lower IL improves sensitivity margin; ripple impacts passband flatness and BER/EVM.
Stopband attenuation
Suppression of adjacent/mirror/spurious signals in the overall LNA/BPF/SAW chain.

4) Quick selection by system intent
Low-IF / super-het
Prioritize low IL and controlled group delay to protect sensitivity and demodulation.
Remote / telemetry / security
Sub-GHz designs typically balance BW vs rejection for robust low-power receivers.
High rejection front ends
Use stopband and intermod considerations to protect the LNA/mixer chain.
4.5) Applications (why these specs matter)
Professional wireless receivers
Consistent passband and stopband control help maintain sensitivity in the presence of strong adjacent interferers.
Sub-GHz gateways and industrial telemetry
BW and IL trade-offs determine link budget margin; tuning ensures the SAW filter aligns with regional channel plans.
UHF/VHF radios and IF blocks
Well-defined IF shaping reduces image/mirror issues (system-dependent) and mitigates unwanted mixing products.
Receiver front ends with harsh blocker environments
Stopband attenuation protects LNAs/mixers from compression and desensitization caused by out-of-band power.

What are the core differences between SAW, BAW and LC filters?
SAW devices are compact and cost-effective from sub-GHz to ~1.6 GHz, with trade-offs between bandwidth, insertion loss and rejection. BAW suits higher frequencies with higher Q and strong stopband but is typically higher cost. LC filters are flexible and tunable with PA/LNA matching, but stability and consistency depend on component tolerances and temperature drift.
What are typical bandwidth and insertion loss around 433 MHz?
Common 3 dB bandwidth is 200 kHz–2 MHz with around 2–6 dB insertion loss. Final values depend on device structure/materials and the external matching network.
How to perform 50 Ω matching and verification?
Start from vendor-recommended π/T networks, then verify S11/S21 on a VNA near band edges. Fine-tune components to meet sensitivity budget and emission/adjacent-channel masks.
Is AEC-Q200 automotive grade available?
Some devices/packages can be supplied as AEC-Q200 or industrial grades. For series programs, confirm life testing, thermal cycling, PPAP and traceability requirements.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ and lead time depend on the exact variant and qualification level. Send your target frequency/bandwidth and volume to receive an RFQ with a schedule.
Can I get samples and evaluation support?
Yes. We provide samples and can support matching/layout review. Share your schematic/PCB constraints and VNA test plan to speed up tuning.
Do you support customization (frequency/bandwidth/impedance)?
Yes. For production programs we can propose the closest standard part or discuss custom targets such as center frequency, 3 dB bandwidth, impedance and stopband masks.
Why is there no public price list (RFQ only)?
B2B pricing depends on variant, qualification, volume, delivery terms and packaging. Request an RFQ for an accurate quote and lead-time commitment.
What documents can you provide (S-parameters, test report, compliance)?
Depending on the part, we can provide datasheets, S-parameter guidance, recommended matching notes, and compliance information such as RoHS/REACH. Ask when submitting an RFQ.
