The DW9255 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) bandpass
filter for use with the GP2000 Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver chip-set, available from Mitel Semiconductor.
It is pre-tuned to the exact 2nd IF filter requirements of the
GP2010 & GP2015 RF front-end devices, with a centre-
frequency of 35.42MHz. The response is tuned for a flat
passband, steep stopband and uniform passband group-delay
with 3 external inductors. The device is realised on a Lithium
Tantalate substrate and housed in a small leadless ceramic
Surface Mount package.
The DW9255 gives significant improvement in correlated
GPS Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance compared to
conventional LC bandpass filter schemes. This aids satellite
signal acquisition and tracking capability from the GP2000
GPS chip-set. This device effectively filters out-of-band
(unwanted) noise in the GPS signal. The Automatic Gain
Control (AGC) within the GP2010 and GP2015 RF Front-end
devices will then operate only on in-band noise for optimum
gain and superior correlated GPS signal strength.
