4. SUB-UNIT MODULES
4.1 Bandpass Filter (02-010201)
4.1.1 Description
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband
frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with a
passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of combline design, and are carefully aligned during
manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit.
The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure
and 50 load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require no
maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module rather than
attempt repair or re-tuning.
