Band Pass FiltersBPF 3/3

Band-Pass Filter for the 112 - 136 MHz Band

Description

  • The BPF 3/3 is a 3-helical resonator band-pass filter with aperture-coupling between the resonators.
  • This filter can be used as a preselector to protect a receiver against interference from transmissions out of the passband, or it can be used to reduce spurious output from a transmitter with up to 50 W output power.
  • The filter can be tuned within the entire 112 - 136 MHz band. It has very small dimensions owing to the use of helical resonators. Careful design and choice of materials ensure reliable operation over a wide temperature range.
  • The housing is made of extruded aluminium, the chassis of steel, and teflon insulation has been used in the coaxial cables and in the connectors.
  • BPF 3/3 is coated with black vinyl to prevent corrosion.
