AM band Notch filter -

Tunable 535 to 1705 khz

The AM problem solver   ORDERING
low loss or classic filter. The most popular unit is the COMBINED version which has an additional BNC output. Knob style may vary.
The AM Notch filter is designed to aid emission measurement of AM broadcast stations using a spectrum analyzer or other calibrated receiver.  Accurate measurement of harmonic or spurious levels can be made in the presence of strong fundamental or interfering signals. Optimal Q makes this possible with negligible insertion loss at harmonic frequencies.  Other applications include various reception enhancement arrangements where single frequency rejection is desired. One popular use of the classic filter at AM radio stations is to allow AM band EAS reception in the presence of another very strong rf field created by the co-located tower. 

Nominal response at one megahertz is shown below.  There are three versions available, the classic, the low-loss coupled, and the combined.  The low-loss function is designed to not only prevent spectrum analyzer overload when measuring harmonic frequencies, but  to also be used for NRSC bandwidth measurements, displaying energy below the 70 or 80 db on-screen limit of most spectrum analyzers.  The low-loss mode has negligible attenuation at  + - 75 khz and beyond.  The classic response provides the deepest possible notch. Our most popular unit is the combined version which  includes dual outputs, providing both the deep notch and the low-loss functions in the same unit - a very flexible testing package.  This NRSC bandwidth testing use is covered in more detail in the page:  Breaking the 80 dB barrier. Hundreds of these are currently in use from Asia to Europe; many users email us with kind words.
