Paradar 868 Mhz SAW Filter

Availability:

In stock (can be backordered)


The Paradar SAW filter is crucial for LoRa deployments in urban environments. Why? Because 4G cellular towers in Europe and the UK, operating on 4G Band 20, work on frequencies as high as 862MHz. A high-gain antenna in an urban environment is going to pick up a lot of this RF energy, which your 868MHz LoRa device will need to filter out.

This filter is based on the RFMi SF2137E-2 filter module, which introduces <2.2dB of loss between 867.5MHz and 870.5MHz. Outside of this range, the loss is >35dB – effectively muting other transmitters.

The filter is carefully designed so it’s impedance-matched at 50 ohms, with impedance controlled PCB manufacturing and quality components. As a result, it performs better than most of the generic brands available on eBay.

On Meshtastic and Helium nodes using high-gain antennas in urban areas, this can improve performance by 20-30%.

A hotspot in central London with a high-gain omni antenna showed significant improvement with a SAW filter (graph). A test in Stockholm revealed an increase from 16 decoded active nodes to 25 in a 15 minute time window when the filter was added.

However, they’re not for everyone and in less congested areas may introduce more loss than benefit. If you have any questions – as always, get in touch: we’re happy to help.
