The TF010x filters are particularly suitable for use in vehicle adapter amplifiers, which extend the range of a typical hand-held or manpack tactical radio to 40km or more.
As well as providing frequency-hopping functionality, the digitally tunable filters reduce cosite interference on the transmit side by limiting out-of-band emission and increase sensitivity on the receive side by blocking nearby off-channel transmissions.
Passband insertion loss is typically less than 3.6dB, and third-order intercept (IP3) is specified as +45dBm minimum. In-band power handling is 1.25W, while out-of-band power can be up to 5W at +/-10% off the tuned frequency.
