Why RF Low Power Filters are Needed for the Radio Station?

An Essential Part of Radio Station Equipment

 

Here are few reasons why RF low pass filters are necessary for the radio broadcast industry:

 

• Harmonics and spurious emission cannot be avoided, and they will affect radio stations in different radio frequency bands and reduce the quality of radio programs and that's the core value of a coaxial low pass filter to the radio station.

 

• If you do not use a professional RF low pass filter, you are likely to be punished by the local radio management department (such as FCC) for generating massive radio interference, for example, numbers of unwanted harmonics and spurious emissions generated by your FM and TV transmitter

 

• Radio transmitters use high power frequency low pass filters to prevent harmonic emissions that may interfere with other communications.

 

• To suppress FM station transmitter harmonics: FM transmitters usually produce harmonics - multiples of transmitter frequency. Some of them result in interference with VHF-tv and UHF-tv reception and paging and cellular radio reception. This series of high power low pass filters pass through the whole FM frequency band with low loss and provide a lot of harmonic suppression.

 

 

Buy RF Harmonics Filter from FMUSER Broadcast

 

The greatest value of the RF Harmonics filter is to help radio stations select the required signals for use. Especially for large radio stations, how to provide the audience with the highest quality radio programs without being punished by the local radio management is the prerequisite to enhance the competitiveness of radio peers and improve the brand awareness of radio stations

 

FMUSER offers harmonic filters such as the 20kW FM low pass filter for transmitter power levels up to 20 kW. A unique design provides 45 dB or greater rejection from the second to the tenth harmonic and beyond. This yields filters with overall lengths 30% to 50% shorter than typical FM harmonic filters. 

 

We have the best RF filters for sale, buy RF filters that power ranging from 500W to 1000W from FMUSER! Specifically, they are 20kW FM low pass filter for sale (LPF) and 10kW VHF low pass filters for sale (LPF), 10kW VHF bandstop filter for sale (BSF), 350W UHF digital bandpass filter for sale, and one of our top-sale radio station equipment - FM bandpass filters for sale.

 

You may find all you need if you keep exploring, we have FM bandpass filters that power ranging from 500W to 1kW, specifically, they are 500W, 1500W, 3000W, 5000W, 10000W FM bandpass filters which are specially designed for FM radio stations. Besides, customization is available for harmonics filters, all they are with budget cost and amazing quality, ask us for support, we're all ears!

 

As one of the most important broadcasting assemblies of FM / TV radio stations, the RF cavity filter is as necessary as the FM / UHF / VHF combiner, radio broadcasting transmitter, transmitting antenna, and other similar broadcasting station equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that as the core product of RF passive products, filters are actually more important than any other passive assemblies in repeaters and base stations.

 

Still, the RF filter, for example, the low pass RF filter, is a necessary device on the transmitting side of the broadcasting station to suppress the harmonics generated by the transmitter. This is because RF system operators all over the world use different frequencies, so there are quite a lot of messy signals waving in the air, some of them are for television, military, others are for weather research and other purposes.

How do Annoying Harmonic and Spurious Emissions Occur?

 

The Previous Part is Why Low Pass RF Filters are Needed | Skip

The Next Part is Best RF Harmonics Filter for Sale | Skip

 

What bothers all RF engineers is that harmonic and spurious emissions cannot be avoided. For radio station operators, it is very important to understand what harmonics and spurious emissions are, or how they are generated and how to reduce their impact.

 

At the same time, it is also beneficial to control the quality of radio station programs, FMUSER's professional RF technical team explained to us some theoretical knowledge about harmonics and spurious emission.

 

If you want to further understand why radio stations need professional RF filters, you may need the following contents

 

How are Harmonics Generated?

 

Frequencies that occur at an exact multiple of the input frequency are called harmonics. In other words, harmonics are unwanted transmission, which is a multiple of the expected transmission frequency. This unwanted transmission occurs at a lower power level than the desired transmission.

 

As we all know, there is an indispensable equipment in radio stations, that is, radio transmitters. Whether 1kW or 10kW transmitter will be specially designed, and the basic RF component of the transmitter is equipped with a band-pass filter, but almost every RF transmitter will produce some harmonics, Even the most professional wireless transmitter can not avoid all clutter and stray emission

 

Harmonics are also considered to be a potential cause of RF interference. Some waveforms, such as square waves, sawtooth waves,s, and triangular waves, contain a lot of energy at the harmonic frequency.

 

How are Spurious Emission Generated?

 

Unlike harmonics, spurious emission does not occur when the input frequency is doubled; They didn't spread it on purpose. Spurious emission is an accidental emission, commonly known as splash. They are the result of intermodulation, electromagnetic interference, frequency conversion, or harmonics.

• The Lower the Pim the Stronger the Signals

 

For example, PIM (AKA: Passive Intermodulation), we know that PIM is the result of useless signals generated by the mixing of two or more frequencies in nonlinear passive devices. These new signals will interfere with and distort the original signals transmitted between two wireless systems. It can generate signal interference in any wireless system. Low PIM means having a strong signal with more bandwidth for more users, which means customer satisfaction and higher revenue for operators.

 

• You'll Need Low Insertion Loss and Return Loss

 

Insertion loss and return loss play an important role in the design and development of high-frequency devices such as RF filters, RF power dividers, and RF amplifiers. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all types of transmission (data transmission or electrical transmission). Since this is true for almost all physical transmission lines or conductive paths, the longer the path, the higher the loss. In addition, these losses will also occur at each connection point along the line, including joints and connectors. For high-frequency assembly such as RF filters, those filters with low insertion loss and other attractive selling points can often become the first choice for radio operators.

 

• It is Far More Than What You See

 

Apparently, there are important references more than Insertion loss, other parameters such as attachment value and high power handling, etc are also important factors when buying a good RF harmonics filter. If you want more free information about the RF harmonics filters, please make sure to contact our technical team, they are 7/24 online awaiting your good news. Here are what the FMSUER technical team suggests:

 

• Minimizing filter dimension with price competitiveness Perfect product for a wide range of radio microwave frequency, such as Telecommunication system, IEEE 802.
• Excellent temperature stability
• High power handling and excellent attenuation value
• Etc.

 

For Suppressing FM Station Transmitter Harmonics: FM transmitters often generate harmonics - multiples of the transmitter frequency. Some of these cause interference to VHF-TV and UHF-TV reception and paging and cellular radio reception. This series of low-pass filters pass the entire FM band with low loss and provide substantial harmonic suppression.

If you want to know more about the circuit structure or marketing share of RF filter, FMUSER recommends you to learn about passive electronics or ask our sales team directly, because the content you have read is not enough to explain RF filter completely and clearly to you (PS: Wikipedia may not be able to do it). Therefore, All we can do for you is to simply and vividly explain the structure and types of RF filters, and how RF filters work. Here, FMUSER lists some interesting questions about RF Filters that were raised by our radio station customers, and of course our answers. Please continue reading If you want to know more about RF filters. 

 

Q1: How do RF Filters Work the Other Ways Except in FM/TV Station?

 

RF Filters are important components in wireless technology, RF filters are used with the radio receivers so that only the right kind of frequencies can be entertained while filtering out other unwanted bands of frequencies. The RF filters are designed in a way that they could easily operate on frequency ranges that range from medium to extremely high frequency, i.e. megahertz and gigahertz. Because of its operating characteristic, it is most frequently used in equipment such as broadcast radio, wireless communications, and television, etc.

 

The RF filters can filter out the noise or reduce the interference of the external signals that could affect the quality or the performance of any communication system. The lack of the proper RF filters in place could take a toll on the transference of the signal frequencies which could end up hurting the communication process.

 

With the right RF filters in place, the external interferences along with the signal disruption produced by the neighboring communication system can be easily blocked out. This preserves the quality of the desired signal frequencies while filtering out all the unwanted signal frequencies with ease.

 

Because of this, the RF filters play an important role in the wireless communication system, i.e. satellite, radar, mobile wireless system, and more. 

 

Generally, filters are lightweight and can help with enhancing the performance of the signal’s frequencies. In the case where the RF filters are failing to provide the expected performance, then you could explore various other choices, one of which is the addition of an amplifier to your design. From the Trellisware amplifier to any other RF power amplifiers, you can convert the lower signal frequencies to higher ones; thus boosting the overall performance of the RF designs.

 

In addition, RF filters play a crucial role in the cell phone environment as well. When it comes to mobiles, they require a certain amount of bands to perform properly. With the lack of the proper RF filter, the various bands will not be allowed to co-exist simultaneously which means that certain bands will be rejected, i.e. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), public safety, Wi-Fi, and more. Here, RF filters play an important role by allowing all the bands to co-exist at the same time.

 

Thanks to the mature R&D development of FMUSER, we cover dozens of different filters for you, please make sure to contact our sales team if you're not sure which ones are the best for your broadcast station, our sales and technical team will be waiting for WITH ALL EARS.

 

Q2: How Do You Make an RF Filter?

 

In general, RF filters are made up of coupled resonators and designed with passive reactive components such as capacitors, inductors, and (less often) RF transformers, which are coupled inductors. The filters are usually linear, and when it is needed some kind of amplification they can be coupled with RF amplifiers implemented with RF transistors (either bipolar or field-effect). Filters are necessary when it comes to filtering out unwanted signals from entering the radio spectrum. They are used in combination with various electronics. However, its most important use comes within the radio frequency domain.

 

For the low pass filter, its circuit which allows only low pass frequency components and blocks all other higher frequency components are called a low pass filter. The name LPF itself indicates low range frequency.

 

Based on the application and size of the wireless equipment, there are many filter kinds, i.e. cavity filters, planar filters, electroacoustic filters, dielectric filters, coaxial filters (not related to coaxial cable), and more.

Q3: How Many Types of RF Filter Are There and What Are They Exactly?

 

Radio Frequency filters are a special kind of circuit that allows the right signals to pass while they cancel out undesired signals. When it comes to the filter topology, there are four basic RF filter types, i.e.; high-pass; band-pass; and band-reject (or notch filters). The most common RF filters have a ladder structure, and the “position” of the components (inductors and capacitors) is what defines their type; the values of the components define the range of signal frequency(es) they block or don’t block.

 

• Low Pass Filter - Lowpass Filter - LPF

 

The low pass filter is the one that only allows low frequencies to pass through while at the same time, attenuating every other signal frequency. The amount of reduction in the signal’s frequency when it passes through the bandpass is decided by many factors such as filter topology, layout, and quality of the components, etc. In addition, the filter topology also decides how quickly the filter will transition from the passband in order to attain its ultimate rejection.

 

 

 

Low pass filters come in various different forms. The main application of this filter is the suppression of the RF amplifier’s harmonics. This characteristic is important since it helps in preventing unwanted interferences when it comes to various transmission bands. Mainly, the low pass filters are utilized in audio applications and filters out noises from any external circuit. After the high-frequency signals are filtered, the resulting signal frequencies get a crisp and clear quality.

 

• High Pass Filter  - Highpass Filter - HPF

 

As opposed to the low pass filter, the high pass filter (HPF) only allows the high-frequency signal to pass through. In truth, the high pass filters are quite complementary to the low pass filters as both of them can be used in conjunction to produce a bandpass filter. The design of the high pass filter is straightforward and attenuates the frequencies that are lower than a threshold point.

 

 

 

Usually, the high pass filters are utilized in the audio systems through which all the low frequencies are filtered out. In addition, it is used to remove bass in small speakers, and in many cases; these filters are specifically built into the speakers. However, if it comes to any DIY project, the high pass filters can be easily wired into the system.

 

• Band Pass Filter - Bandpass Filter - BPF

 

A bandpass filter (BPF) is a circuit that allows signals from two different frequencies to pass through and attenuates the signals that do not come within its acceptance range. Most of the bandpass filters depend on any external power source and utilize active components, i.e. integrated circuits and transistors. Such kinds of filters are called active bandpass filters. On the other hand, some band pass filters utilize no external power source and rely heavily on passive components, i.e. inductors and capacitors. These filters are known as passive bandpass filters.

 

 

Band pass filters are commonly utilized in wireless receivers and transmitters. Its main function in a transmitter is to limit the output signal’s bandwidth to the minimum so that the necessary data can be conveyed at the desired speed and form. When it comes to the receiver, the band pass filter allows only a desirable amount of frequencies to be decoded or heard, while cutting other signals coming in from unwanted frequencies.

 

 

All in all, when a bandpass filter is well-designed, it can easily maximize the quality of the signals, while at the same time, it can minimize the competition or interference among signals.

 

• Band Reject Filter - Band Stop Filter - Reject Filter - BSF

 

Sometimes known as band stop filter (BSF), band reject is a filter that allows most of the frequencies to pass through unaltered. However, it attenuates such frequencies that fall below a very specific range. It functions exactly in the opposite manner to that of the bandpass filter.

 

 

Basically, its function is to pass through the frequencies from zero to the first cut-off point of frequency. In between, it passes all the frequencies that are above the second cut-off point of the frequency. However, it rejects or blocks all the other frequencies that are in between these two points.

 

 

All in all, a filter is something that allows signals to pass through with the help of the passband. That said, the stopband in the filter is the point where certain frequencies are rejected by any filter. Be it high pass, low pass, or bandpass, the ideal filter is the one that exhibits no loss in the passband. However, in reality, there is no such thing as an ideal filter as the bandpass will experience some frequency loss and it is not possible to attain infinite rejection when it comes to the stopband.
