Pseudo Elliptic Bandpass Filter
KR Electronics introduces part number 2910, a surface-mount 875 MHz pseudo elliptic bandpass filter. The filter has a typical insertion loss of 3.5 dB and minimum 3 dB bandwidth of 42 MHz. The filter attains over 50 dB rejection by 831 and 920 MHz. The use of elliptic bandpass at bandwidths as low as 5 percent allows superior performance to all-pole designs in a smaller package. The filter is supplied in a surface-mount package measuring 2.0" × 0.5" × 0.3" and can also be supplied connectorized. The filter can be customized for other center frequencies and bandwidths.

Quick-release Waveguide Couplings
Manufactured from Alochromed aluminum with stainless-steel threaded inserts and screws, the QRF series of couplings attach to the rear of waveguide flanges. The self-aligning couplings are equipped with dowels to ensure precise positioning, while the use of spring-loaded screws prevents parts from being lost. The screws are designed to be finger tightened and also incorporate hex bolts to allow the use of a torque wrench. Available in different versions to suit all popular waveguide sizes, the QRF series is designed for rapid installation and is suitable for maintenance personnel in the defense, broadcast and telecommunications sectors.
