New Filters and Directional Couplers for DAB
ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1999--Andrew Corporation's Passive Power division introduced two new filters and a field adjustable coupler series for US and European radio broadcasters.
- The S-Band DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) Bandpass Filter is
aimed at OEM suppliers for the new US DAB service. This filter is
designed for 2.3 GHz for critical and non critical emission
masks. The performance of the new filter meets the sharp response
characteristics specified for DAB out-of-band emissions as well
as providing low insertion loss and VSWR. Precision factory
machining extracts the maximum performance capabilities at S-Band
from Dual Mode filter technology.
- The Low Power VHF DAB Bandpass Filter is for lower power ranges
below 500 W and is suitable for European DAB broadcasting. This
filter is typically integrated into a DAB transmitter. These low
loss DAB filters provide superior power handling from a smaller
size unit.
Both the S-Band DAB Bandpass filter and the Low Power VHF DAB Bandpass filters offer DAB band tunability, small size, excellent temperature stability and power handling capability.
- The new Field Adjustable Directional Coupler is suitable for
frequencies of 10 MHz to 2 GHz. Produced in sizes of 1-5/8 inches
EIA to 8-3/16 inches EIA, these couplers are designed for a
worldwide market and have applications throughout the broadcast
spectrum. This new coupler offers an economical, quick, and
simple method of installation and adjustment with a directivity
in excess of 32 dB.
