SATELLITE IF CHANNEL FILTERS

SATELLITE IF CHANNEL FILTERS
Features
• Tight amplitude and group delay specifications
• Consistent 6 dB Insertion Loss across range
• Impedance: 75 Ω
• Geometrically symmetric response
• Remote filter identification
• Passband return loss: > 15 dB
A range of bandpass filters for use in 70 MHz I.F. stages of satellite links. Designed to meet the
tight amplitude and group delay characteristics necessary for close channel separation as specified
in the Eutelsat, Intelsat, Arabsat and Astra templates. A particular feature is the passive logic array
which can be interrogated electronically to detect the presence and type of filter. Other templates
and different I.F. frequencies considered on request. Note: These items are NOT aqueous washable

Filter Type
A particular feature is the passive logic array
which can be interrogated electronically to
detect the filter type (see table opposite).
Pins 21 and 22 are linked internally and can
be used to determine if a filter is present in its
mounting slot. Pin 16 is connected to a
voltage representing logic 1 and pins 17 to 20
are either connected to this or ground.
