Ku-band Waveguide High-Pass Filter (WR75) is a precision-engineered RF filtering component designed to pass only frequencies above 12.75 GHz while effectively suppressing low-frequency noise, ambient interference, and short-term signal fluctuations. Based on a Chebyshev/Batervord high-pass characteristic, this filter provides sharp cutoff behavior, stable passband uniformity, and excellent out-of-band rejection. It is ideal for satellite communication systems, microwave front ends, telemetry links, and RF environments requiring precise high-frequency selection.
With low insertion loss ≤1 dB, passband ripple contained within ±0.5 dB, and rejection ≥45 dB at 100 MHz below the cutoff, the Ku-band Waveguide High-Pass Filter (WR75) ensures clean and accurate high-frequency propagation. Its aluminium alloy construction and WR75 interface with UBR120/PBR120 flanges guarantee high mechanical stability and seamless integration into Ku-band waveguide structures. By reducing low-frequency interference and stabilizing the usable spectrum, the filter plays a critical role in improving system noise figure and overall link clarity.
✅ Sharp 12.75 GHz high-pass cutoff for filtering low-frequency interference
The filter suppresses unwanted lower-spectrum components, ensuring only the required high-frequency range is transmitted. This improves signal clarity and enhances performance in satellite and microwave RF chains.
✅ High rejection ≥45 dB to eliminate out-of-band noise
Strong attenuation of spectral components below the cutoff prevents interference, system distortion, and overload of sensitive downstream modules. This is essential for clean operation in precise high-frequency RF environments.
✅ Low-loss, low-ripple WR75 waveguide design
With ≤1 dB insertion loss and ±0.5 dB ripple, the filter maintains uniform passband transmission while minimizing signal distortion. The WR75 interface with UBR120/PBR120 flanges ensures consistent impedance across Ku-band waveguide networks.
🛠️ Engineered for high-frequency separation and RF purification The high-pass filter is optimized for removing low-frequency components, stabilizing the microwave spectrum, and improving SNR in high-frequency systems. Its aluminium alloy cavity provides superior thermal and structural durability for outdoor and indoor RF installations.
🛒 Ideal choice for microwave receivers, transmitters and front-end modules Its precise filtering performance makes it suitable for satellite terminals, airborne microwave systems, laboratory test setups, and broadband RF networks requiring reliable high-pass characteristics and minimal signal degradation.
