Filter/Amplifier Cascades

MPG Solutions Agile Filter Amplifier Cascade devices significantly improve range and reduce interference where receiver desensitization is a challenge. 


filteramplifiercascade

Overview

Receiver desentization greatly diminishes communications range. Pole/Zero offers a catalog of solutions that incorporate tunable filters and low noise amplifiers (LNAs) in an RF cascade to significantly enhance receiver dynamic range, improve noise figure, improve strong signal handling and intermodulation, and reduce reciprocal mixing and cross-modulation.

Benefits

MPG Solutions Agile Filter Amplifier Cascade integrate elements of our standard product line to improve receiver dynamic range and offer the following additional benefits:

  • Enables simultaneous operation of multiple transceivers in a cosite environment
  • Devices incorporating multiple poles of RF selectivity reduce broadband noise, harmonics and spurious signals, while providing full output power
  • Incorporates extensive Built-in-Test (BIT) capability and is qualified for airborne applications
  • Available cost-effective modifications ensure fit to individual specifications
  • An optional mounting tray is available for easy incorporation on any platform
