FLX SERIES PRODUCT FAMILY

  • Filter Electronically Tuned (FLX), passive resonant cavity tuneable bandpass filter.
  • Typically each filter is from 2 to 4 poles (cavities).
  • Typically from 1 up to 4 inch cavity size.
  • Can be either motor tuned (via remote control interface) or manually tuned (via front panel knob).
  • Typically higher insertion loss cavities than VCT and CCT Series, but built-in HPA’s and LNA’s compensate for the higher insertion loss.
  • Typically lower RF power handling than VCT and CCT Series, but an HPA and/or LNA after the filter compensates for the lower power output from the filter.
  • Typically smaller size and weight filter than VCT and CCT Series, but the HPA/LNA subassemblies can increase the package to VCT/CCT size.

RFIS

FLX-Series-RFIS-800P04-03-1

RFPinc Part#: 800P04-03-1

RFPinc Model#: FLX-1A-30/88M02/01/F

Frequency: LOW VHF

What is it?

  • RF Interference Suppression Filter (RFIS).
  • Includes: 
    1. A tuneable FLX Series bandpass filter.
    2. RF Switching for filter bypass to enable multiband radio operation in other frequency ranges.

What does it do?

  • The 30-88 MHz tuneable bandpass filters add to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 30-88 MHz range.
  • Multi-band radios connected to this 30-88 MHz filter can operate in other bands via the filter’s buit-in bypass.
