Mitigating Self-Generated Communications Interference
Inadequate isolation between a transmitter and a receiver in a cosite environment results in the receiver’s diminished ability to process a weak desired signal- a condition termed “desensitization”.
Pole/Zero's Integrated Cosite Equipment (ICE) represents an evolution of our standard filter products through utilization of various standard filter elements to achieve highly integrated designs. ICE typically incorporates a cascade of tunable filter modules and low noise amplifiers to provide excellent selectivity throughout the tuning range. It provides high dynamic range performance for operation in medium to high level cosite environments. ICE often incorporates output power limiting in receive paths and low broadband noise power amplifiers in transmit paths to achieve narrowband filtering in the presence of high level interferers.
