WHITE PAPERS

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”.

“*” indicates SATCOM capability.
“T” indicates transmit filter capability and “R” indicates receive filter capability.
Selectivity is relative to all ICE products with representing the least selective
and representing the most selective.
Output Power is defined in dBm for Transmit only. Receive filters have gain as defined in the detailed specifications.
Price is a relative factor of price per channel with “$” being the lowest price and “$$$$$” being the highest price
