Why Do You Need a High Out-of-Band Rejection Filter? ACASOM 915MHz Cavity Filter Explained
Introduction: The Critical Role of RF Filtering
In wireless communication, signal interference is the enemy of reliability. Whether you're deploying LoRa networks, IoT sensors, or industrial telemetry, unwanted noise can disrupt data transmission, reduce range, and even cause system failures.
The ACASOM 915MHz Cavity Filter solves these challenges with military-grade signal filtering. Designed for ultra-high out-of-band rejection (≥50dB) and near-zero insertion loss (≤1.0dB), this filter ensures your 915MHz systems operate at peak performance—free from interference.
In this guide, we’ll explore:
✔ How cavity filters work
✔ Key benefits of ACASOM’s design
✔ Real-world applications
✔ Technical specifications
Key Features & Benefits
1. Ultra-High Out-of-Band Rejection (≥50dB)
-
Blocks interference at 892MHz and 938MHz—critical for 915MHz ISM band applications.
-
Why this matters: Nearby signals (e.g., cellular, radar) can "bleed" into your frequency band. ACASOM’s filter suppresses these by 50dB or more—equivalent to reducing interference by 100,000x.
2. Ultra-Low Insertion Loss (≤1.0dB)
-
Most filters sacrifice signal strength for noise rejection. Not this one.
-
Preserves 90% of your signal power (vs. 70-80% with cheaper filters).
3. Bidirectional & Easy to Install
-
No "input/output" confusion: Both SMA ports are interchangeable.
-
Flexible placement: Install between:
-
Antenna and LoRa gateway
-
Antenna and IoT base station
-
Miner and extender (for crypto applications)
-

| Rejection | ≥50dB | 25-35dB |
| Insertion Loss | ≤1.0dB | 1.5-3.0dB |
| Durability | Aluminum Housing | Plastic Housing |
| Ports | Bidirectional | Directional (Input/Output) |
✅ Why ACASOM Wins:
✔ 2x better interference blocking
✔ 30% less signal loss
✔ No installation mistakes (bidirectional ports)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use this for 868MHz or 920MHz systems?
A: This model is optimized for 915MHz, but ACASOM offers custom filters for other frequencies.
Q2: How do I connect it to my system?
