8PPXX201E Series
Band IV/V (UHF) PeakPower+^TM bandpass filter

Rev : 03 | Rev date : 16 Jul 2021

The RFS 8PPXX201E is designed for global filtering applications associated with DTV television transmission. It is an 8-pole liquid cooled filter incorporating two cross couplings to meet all mask requirements. The 8-pole filter allows for FCC tightening of emission mask for ATSC 3.0 in the future.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

Meet FCC mask requirements plus extra protection for adjacent channels.
Very compact for easy integration into equipment.
Lowest insertion loss and highest power rating for its 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.
