Telewave TWPC-8604 Bandpass Cavity Filters
The Telewave TWPC-8604-1 is a 4-inch diameter, quarter-wave high-Q bandpass cavity filter with superior selectivity, designed to pass a narrow frequency band while rejecting all others. It reduces transmitter sideband noise and protects receivers from desensitization.
The cavity covers 806 to 960 MHz and is factory-tuned to the specified frequency, requiring no further adjustments, though a positive locking mechanism allows quick field retuning if needed. It features calibrated adjustable coupling, with insertion loss easily set from 0.5 dB to 2 dB or higher to optimize selectivity for any operating environment.
Frequency stability is maintained across -30°C to +70°C using a machined compensator and Invar rod. Telewave Ground Loop technology grounds the center conductor of each coupling loop at DC potential for lightning protection and noise reduction.
The cavity is built with heavy-duty materials, including quarter-inch aluminum top plates heliarc-welded to the body at the high current point, silver-plated tuners, beryllium copper finger stock, and alodined aluminum to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable long-term performance. It handles up to 350 watts, depending on insertion loss.
