Model XDL20-6-100
Rev. B
Delay Line
Description
The XDL20-6-100 is a surface mount delay line that uses a slow wave
coupling structure that maximizes the amount of delay per unit area over
other distributed delay structures. The XDL20-6-100 can be used in
amplifier linearization applications from 400 – 3500MHz. The XDL20-6-100
is ideal for the delay element required in the main loop of feed forward
amplifiers. The Xinger® delay lines are a low cost, high quality alternative
to the traditional coaxial and filter solutions presently available. Parts have
been subjected to rigorous qualification testing and units are 100% tested.

AVERAGE DELAY
The average delay is defined as the group delay of the input signal through the delay line. Because the Xinger delay
lines take advantage of a narrow band tuning technique, the average delay over the broad band varies. Because the
XDL20-6-100 is tuned at 2.0GHz, the average delay in that range is larger than at 1.0 GHz and specifications reflect
this variation. The lot-to-lot variation is reflected in the plus/minus tolerance given in specifications.
Refer to Anaren Application Note AAN-232 for further information on Xinger delay lines.

Transmission
Line
In order for Xinger surface mount delay lines to work
optimally, there must be 50Ω transmission lines leading to
and from all of the RF ports. Also, there must be a very
good ground plane under the part with a number of plated
thru holes to ensure proper electrical performance. If any
of these conditions are not satisfied, insertion loss,
average delay and VSWR may not meet published
specifications.
When a surface mount delay line is mounted to a printed
circuit board (PCB), the primary concerns are; insuring
the RF pads of the device are in contact with the circuit
trace of the PCB and the ground plane of neither the
component nor the PCB are in contact with the RF signal.
An example of how the PCB footprint could look is shown
below. In particular designs, the 50Ω lines need to be
adjusted to the unique dielectric coefficients and
thicknesses as well as varying pick and place equipment
tolerances.
