FT108 Programmable bidirectional Filter Bank

Port Richey, Florida, April 17, 2024 - Windfreak Technologies is proud to announces the availability of our FT108, an innovative programmable bidirectional filter bank spanning a frequency range of 5 MHz to 8 GHz in 15 bands. Band selection can be controlled through USB, UART or at high speeds through powerful triggering modes. Each unit is factory tested via Network Analyzer with unique data stored in the device to help with its use.

Crossover frequencies are stored so the user can send a frequency command and the FT108 will utilizes Intelligent Band Selection logic to automatically toggle the optimal filter path based on minimum insertion loss. Readback of FT108 insertion loss at any frequency between crossover points allows for easy amplitude leveling by referencing onboard calibration data to drive external source ALC (Automatic Level Control).

Designed and manufactured in the USA. In Stock. Ships within 10 days.
