21.3.2.3. Bandpass Filter (02-007206)
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 slot coupled, folded 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 50Ω 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.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to monitor both
insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

21.3.2.4. Four Way Splitter/Combiner (05-003302)
The Splitter/Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF signals to single or
multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all inputs/outputs and ensuring that the
VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum. Any unused ports should be terminated with an
appropriate 50Ω load.
