Applications

Notch filters are useful in situations where a selected frequency must be attenuated while passing all others. Notch filters are commonly used to:
1. Increase dynamic range of spectrum analyzers.
2. Suppressing either the video or audio carrier in a TV signal without disturbing the other carrier.
3. Notching components of a complex signal that require that the impedance of the notch remains close to 50 ohms
4. Notching a close by frequency.
Although a small unit physically, the TNF400 offers notch performance of substantially larger cavity type or helical resonator filters. An additional benefit of the TNF400 is the fact that the notch is easily tuneable.

Application Notes

The use of notch filters to enhance spectrum analyzer measurements is discussed in the application note:
"Spectrum Analyzer measurements"

Description

The TNF400 series of notch filters are of the absorptive variety. This means that power not passed by the filter is absorbed in the filter rather than being reflected back to the source.
Two adjustments are provided to set the FREQUENCY and PEAK of the notch. Both of these adjustments are multi-turn trimmers for ease of tuning.

The TNF400 is contained in a heavy-duty nickel plated brass enclosure providing excellent shielding. Stainless steel hardware and nickel plating prevent corrosion from dissimilar metal action.
