BPBR 2/3 / BRBP 2/3
Band-Pass – Band-Reject Filters for the 160 MHz Band
DESCRIPTION
The BPBR 2/3… and the BRBP 2/3… are 3-cavity pass-reject filters,
which pass one frequency or frequency band and reject another in
immediate vicinity of the pass frequency.
The filters are delivered in two basic models: The BPBR-types have the
reject range on the high side of the pass frequency and the BRBP-types
have the reject range situated on the low side of the pass frequency.
These filter types can be used to protect a receiver against interference
from a nearby transmitter. The filters are tuned to reject the interfering
signal. Pass-reject-type filters are applied when the spacing between the
utility signal and the interfering signal is so small, that the slope
steepness of normal band-pass filters or notch filters are not sufficient
enough to provide adequate rejection.
These filters are primarily intended to pass and reject two single
frequencies, but the filters can also be tuned to pass and reject several
single frequencies or to having a certain pass and reject port bandwidth.
In these cases, factory-tuning is recommended.
Both the BPBR 2/3… and the BRBP 2/3… are delivered in a high-band
and a low-band version tunable within 136 - 154 and 152 - 175 MHz,
respectively. These models are again divided into submodels, each
dedicated to work with a certain spacing between the pass frequency
and the reject frequency. See “Ordering information” below.
The filter has very small physical dimensions owing to the use of high-Q,
temperature compensated helical resonators.
The housing is made of extruded aluminium, the chassis of passivated
steel, and teflon insulation has been applied in the rigid coaxial cables
and in the connectors.
The filter is black vinyl coated to prevent corrosion.

ORDERING INFORMATION
If pass and reject frequencies are stated when ordering, the filters are
delivered factory-adjusted. Ordering example: BRBP 2/3…, LOW: 149.5 MHz,
HIGH: 154.0 MHz. In this case, further information is not required.
When ordering untuned filters please use the model selection table above to
select the appropriate ordering designation for the desired filter type.
