T he Trilithic VF-4 Tunable Preselector re-selector Filter allows you to improve the accuracy of your distortion tests by providing the preselector needed to accurately measure composite triple beat, cross modulation and other spurious signals in a working CATV system.
A VF-4 filter blocks illegitimate signals ¿ which spectrum analyzers and signal level meters can generate because of input overload ¿ and passes only the carrier to be analyzed to the instrument's input. As a result, a VF-4 can improve an instrument's reliable measurement range by as much as 30 dB.
