C-Band Altimeter Radar Elimination Filter

This uniquely designed low-loss, weather-proved lightweight filter provides suppression of marine and altimeter signal in C-Band. Due to a very low group delay variation, this filter is ideal for digital satellite transmission. Customer-defined pass-band as well as stop-band rejection up to 75dB is available.
The filter shown bellow is 7 poles made from aliminum, silver-plated, weather proved and painted over for reliable outdoor applications.

C-Band Interference Suppression Filter

This low loss, light and robust 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz C-Band band-pass filter efficiently suppress strong out of band interference, caused by navigational communications (radar), as well as many types of other terrestrial interference, strong rejection of unwanted spurious spectrum below and above the pass-band frequency range from DC to lower Ku-band. The filter also practically eliminates transmit (uplink) band so a separate band pass filter is not needed.

Waveguide Band-Pass Cavity Filters

These high-Q, high-power, low-loss filters find numerous applications ranging from wide bandpass filters, up to 20% of the central frequency, to ultra-narrow, less then 1% (notch) filters. These filters are manufactured from aluminum, silver plated. Temperature stable versions, using more stable materials are available. Choice of customer - defined waveguide flanges (choke, cover, hermetic). Optional coaxial interface, customer-defined or standard. The filter shown bellow is WR62 band-pass cavity filter.
