Lorch Microwave offers several standard Bandpass and
Bandreject Tuners covering the frequency range of 24 MHz
to 3000 MHz in octave bands. Cellular and PCS units cover
less than full octaves, however they feature greater dial
resolution. All standard units offer direct frequency read-
out, high power, and narrow bandwidth.
Lorch Microwave's standard products may be customized to
meet specific requirements; including Digitally Controlled,
Diplexed, and Ruggedized options. Contact the factory for
your specific requirements.
An additional feature of Lorch Microwave's Tunable Filter
Product Line is the ability to ship standard bandpass and
bandreject filters overnight from stock.

Digital Filter Options
Lorch Microwave can provide a wide selection of tunable
bandpass and bandreject options, including digitally con-
trolled filters. Standard bandpass and bandreject tuners can
be configured to provide digital frequency control. Tuning is
accomplished by utilizing a servo-type stepping motor to
drive the gear assembly.
A programmable microprocessor-based system is used.
Many control logic options exist including serial, RS-232,
RS-422, IEEE-488, and BCD.
Note: Outline drawings for Bandreject Filters are the same as Tunable Filters. See
page .

Tunable Filters — Digital
• 24 MHz to 3000 MHz
• Octave Tuning
• High Position Resolution
• Built in Backlash Compensation
• Simple Command Structure
Lorch’s Standard Digitally Controlled Bandpass Filters are
available with 3 or 5 sections in the frequency range of 25
MHz to 3000 MHz. The typical insertion loss at center
frequency ranges from 0.7 dB to 1.0 dB and standard tuners
have a 3 dB passband bandwidth of 5%. Digitally
Controlled Bandreject Filters are also available. Standard
Bandreject Filters have 3 or 5 sections with a center
frequency between 25 MHz to 220 MHz and a notch depth
of 50 dB to 75 dB. The rejection bandwidth is typically 1%.
All Standard Digitally Controlled Filters have a dial
accuracy of better than 0.5%. The filter is controlled by
sending commands as ASCII strings to the RS232 port.
Communications:
The controller communicates via a RS232-C port with the following settings:
9600 BAUD, 8 Bits/Byte, No parity, 1 stop bit. If a PC us used to send commands to the controller, a standard serial
cable must be connected to the RS232 port of the filter.
Power Supply:
The digitally controlled filter is supplied with a 24 VDC, 0.625 mA, universal power supply. Typically a filter draws
about 250 mA of current.
Lifetime Expectancy & Servicing:
Lorch’s Digitally Controlled Filters do not require servicing. The meantime to failure is calculated at approximately
1,000,000 tune commands (based on 1 tune command every 30 seconds over 1 year) and is mainly determined by the
limited number of write cycles to EEPROM to keep track of the current frequency setting.
