6PPXX161E Series
Band IV/V (UHF) PeakPower+^TMbandpass filter

Rev : 03 | Rev date : 02 Jun 2021

The RFS 6PPXX161E is designed for global filtering applications associated with DTV television transmission. It is a 6-pole liquid-cooled filter incorporating two cross couplings to meet all mask requirements.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

Very compact for easy integration into equipment.
Very low insertion loss (lowest for this size).
Highest power rating for size/class.
Tunable over full UHF band (470 – 862 MHz).
Adjustable bandwidth, available for 6, 7 & 8 MHz channels for global applications.
External, non-invasive coupling adjustment.
Tunable for ETSI and ISDB-T critical and non-critical, and ATSC applications.
-5 to 55 degree ambient temperature operation.
Low profile rodless resonators design - integrated tuning mechanism - available upon request.
