BPF
408MHz Single-Channel Bandpass Filter
The Pico Macom BPF is an extremely cost and space effective professional
grade single-channel bandpass filter. The BPF was designed to provide an
additional level of bandpass filtering when used in conjunction with Pico
Macom's XBS series of single channel amplifiers, especially in applications
where undesired adjacent channels are present. The high out-of-band signal
rejection eliminates cross modulation and overload distortion caused by strong
adjacent carriers entering an amplifier. Unwanted images caused by dual ampli-
fier processing of the same signal are also eliminated thereby further reducing
distortions and improving picture quality. Four front panel tunable Hi-Q traps

allow easy selection and suppression of adjacent carriers. The BPF is useful
also in eliminating unwanted conversion products resulting from strong local
signals entering the Pico Macom XUV channel converter thereby achieving
cost effective drop in expansion. Pico Macom backs up this product with its
industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
