The Digital Preselector Filter is a tunable preselector filter
used to enhance receiver performance by reducing large
interfering signals that cause distortion. The preleselector
can be used in a variety of applications including software
defined radios (SDR), conventional receivers, and remote
collection sites.
The Digital Preselector Filter contains a controller/power
supply and as many as four filter modules. Each module
supports 255 unique frequency settings. Each module is
calibrated to provide a tuning range with the least amount
of ripple across the band. When a new frequency is
requested, the controller selects the band and tuning
combination that tunes the filter to be centered as close as
possible to that frequency. A new frequency is requested
by sending an ASCII command via RS-232 or USB.
A complete description of the communications protocol can
be downloaded.
