| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Input Frequency (RF) | 3.7 ~ 4.2 / 3.8 ~ 4.2 / 3.9 ~ 4.2 / 4.0 ~ 4.2 GHz |
| Insertion Loss | 0.45 dB (Max.) |
| Out-of-band Rejection (Guard band=100MHz) | 60 dBc (Min.) |
| VSWR | 2.2:1 |
| Operating Temperature | -40 ~ +60℃ |
| Output Connector | WR229G/F |
| Feature | Bandpass Filter | Notch/Reject Filter |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Allows ONLY 3.7-4.2GHz through, blocks everything else | Allows everything EXCEPT 5G band |
| Rejection Approach | Rejects ALL frequencies outside passband | Targets specific 5G frequencies only |
| Protection Level | Higher - blocks multiple interference sources | Lower - only blocks 5G interference |
| Insertion Loss | Slightly higher (0.3-0.8 dB) | Typically lower (0.2-0.5 dB) |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
The 3.7-4.2 GHz bandpass filter represents the premium solution for protecting VSAT systems from 5G interference. While more expensive than simple notch filters, it provides:
Comprehensive protection against multiple interference sources
Preservation of full C-Band spectrum access
Professional-grade performance for critical communications
Future-proofing against evolving RF environment
For enterprise, maritime, aeronautical, and broadcast VSAT applications where reliability is paramount, this bandpass filter solution is often the recommended choice despite its higher cost, as it addresses both current 5G interference and potential future interference scenarios.
