430 – 440MHz Low Loss Input Band-Pass Filter with Very Low Noise Pre-amplifier PGA-103+

Device contains High Selectivity, High Q, Low Loss Band-pass Filter -0.13dB with VLNA.

Integrated 70 cm Band-pass filter is perfect to suppress out of band signals from 2 m or 23 cm stations.

70 cm – 432 MHz or 430 to 450 MHz band-pass filter and preamplifier in one is very immune to out of band signals.

Consist of two devices:

1. 70 cm 430 – 440 MHz Ultimate Receiving Band-pass Filter

2. Wide band Low Noise Amplifier with PGA-103+

Achieves better results than two separate components. Lower NF about 0.05 to 0.1 dB. Thanks to two less connectors.

Measured results with HP8753ES network analyzer full two port calibrated:

 

Frequency:	Gain:
28.4 MHz	-52  dB
50.11 MHz	-40  dB
70 MHz	– 33 dB
FM 88 MHz	– 27 dB
FM: 108 MHz	– 22 dB
144 MHz	– 15 dB
222 MHz	– 1 dB
430 MHz	+ 20.3 dB NF = 0.63 dB Input RL better than -18dB
432.1 MHz	+ 20.3 dB NF = 0.63 dB Input RL better than -18dB
440 MHz	+ 20.2 dB NF = 0.63 dB Input RL better than -18dB
720.5 MHz	– 1 dB
864.2 MHz	– 12 dB
1240 MHz	– 29 dB
1296.1 MHz	– 32 dB
IP3out	> 37 dBm
Power consumption:	+10-15 V / 100 mA

 

These excellent results were achieved by careful selection of components and design. Thanks to input filtering this preamplifier and band pass filter combination are much more immune to interference from strong out-of-band signals. Compared to output filtering.
