FB296

SATELLITE IF CHANNEL FILTERS Features • Tight amplitude and group delay specifications • Consistent 6 dB Insertion Loss across range • Impedance: 75 W • 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.

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. © Faraday Technology.
