Tunable Filters

The API line of digitally-tuned bandpass filters are specifically designed for military radio applications, or when tuning across a precise frequency in essential. They are an ideal solution when power, size, speed, and frequency selectivity are a must.

Four frequency ranges are currently available: 30 - 88 MHz (part # AP-mini-30-88), 30-90 MHz (part #AP-mini-30-90), 90 - 200 MHz (part # AP-mini-90-200), and 200-400 MHz (part # AP-200-400).

Features: 
  • Temperature range: -40 degrees to 85 degrees C (operating) / -57 degrees to 85 degrees C (storage)
  • Weighs less than 60 grams
  • Fast tuning speed (<10us)
  • Available in 30-88 MHz, 30-90 MHz, 90-200 MHz, and 200-400 MHz
Benefits: 
  • Ideal for military radio applications
  • Light and ruggedized
  • Low-cost, high-quality drop-in replacement
