Cavity, Comb Line and Interdigital Band Pass Filters
RLC Electronics’ Cavity, Comb Line and Interdigital Band PassFilters are fixed tuned filters that feature sharp stop band rejection and lower losses that comparable tubular band pass filters.Parallel coupled round rod distributed resonators afford small size and high Q to achieve a near ideal bandpass response. Units are constructed to operate over the most severe military environmental conditions. Integral Low Pass Filters are available to extend the stopband to as high as 40 GHz. The type of filter selected is usually determined by the percentage 3 dB band-width desired.

To designate the filter desired use:
1: Center frequency in MHz 2: 3dB bandwidth in MHz 3: Number of sections |
4: “N” for type N, “B” for BNC, “T” for TNC, “R” for SMA (female) “K” for 2.92mm (female) |
Example: IBPF-3500-1000-10-R is a 3500 MHz center frequency, 1000 MHz 3 dB BW, 10 section filter with SMA(female) connectors.
