BPBR 2/3 / BRBP 2/3
Band-Pass/Band-Reject Filters for the 160 MHz Band
Description
- The BPBR 2/3… and the BRBP 2/3… are 3-cavity pass-reject filters, which pass one frequency or frequency band and reject another in immediate vicinity of the pass frequency.
- The filters are delivered in two basic models: The BPBR-types have the reject range on the high side of the pass frequency and the BRBP-types have the reject range situated on the low side of the pass frequency.
- These filter types can be used to protect a receiver against interference from a nearby transmitter. The filters are tuned to reject the interfering signal. Pass-reject-type filters are applied when the spacing between the utility signal and the interfering signal is so small, that the slope steepness of normal band-pass filters or notch filters are not sufficient enough to provide adequate rejection.
- These filters are primarily intended to pass and reject two single frequencies, but the filters can also be tuned to pass and reject several single frequencies or to having a certain pass and reject port bandwidth. In these cases, factory-tuning is recommended.
- Both the BPBR 2/3… and the BRBP 2/3… are delivered in a high-band and a low-band version tunable within 136 – 154 and 152 – 175 MHz, respectively. These models are again divided into submodels, each dedicated to work with a certain spacing between the pass frequency and the reject frequency. See “Ordering information” below.
- The filter has very small physical dimensions owing to the use of high-Q, temperature compensated helical resonators.
- The housing is made of extruded aluminium, the chassis of passivated steel, and teflon insulation has been applied in the rigid coaxial cables and in the connectors.
- The filter is black vinyl coated to prevent corrosion.
