pass band filter - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Go to the following website: https://tonnesoftware.com/. There is a program called ELSIE, that you can use to design the filter you are looking for.

Try the filter companies, but be ready to pay some big money since it will be a custom design. You be better off designing it yourself, it would only comprise of 5 surface mount parts at best.

You can always use DSPs. Have you actually tried searching on Digikey for such a part? If it's not there, you can always use Google. I found this filters site through it https://www.ana-tech.com/.

I take that DSP quote back. I don't know much about it, but I remember my friend telling me that the frequency that you can sample is only as good as the processor speed. I don't think they have fast enough DSPs that can sample a 100 MHz signal. Anyone can shed a light on this? Remember, I'm clueless with DSPs.

Hi Amimar,

A bandpass filter at this frequency should be relatively simple to design. Once you have designed it and calculated the L and C values you need you should check the coil craft website for the inductors www.coilcraft.com. For the capacitors, try AVX (www.avx.com). Coil craft will probably supply you with a small quantity of free inductors. Upon finding the appropriate cap from AVX you may order it online from Radio Spares (rswww.com) etc. These components are reatily available.

Good luck
