3.4.5.1. Bandpass Filter (01-002503)
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 helical 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 50ȍ load at the input and output ports.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters 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.
