4 meter Band Pass Filter Designed for 100 W Transmitters with frequency range 70 MHz – 70.5 MHz

This filter is designed to withstand 100 W transmitters but is also ideal for receiving. Its low losses of only 0.12 dB will not be noticed in the system. Filter has 50% power margin. So even power spikes or more power wont be a problem.

70 MHz band pass filter has input return loss batter than -35 dB and more on whole 4 meter band!

Achieved results on a built Bandpass filter:
1.8 MHz < -96 dB
3.8 MHz < -96 dB
7.1 MHz < -87 dB
14.15 MHz = -68 dB
21.2 MHz = -56 dB
28.4 MHz = – 47 dB
50 MHz = -20 dB
70 MHz = -0.12 dB, Input RL better than -35dB
70.5 MHz = -0.12 dB, Input RL better than -35dB
100 MHz= -15 dB
144 MHz = -38 dB
146 MHz = -39 dB
148 MHz = -39 dB
432.1 MHz = -63 dB
460 MHz = -57 dB

These excellent results were achieved by careful selection of components and design of the filter.
The measured data on the assembled filter with HP8753ES full 2-port calibrated are presented below. The following images show the S parameters of the most important points.
