ICE 3000 Series
ICE3005
The ICE3005 is an agile filter/amplifier cascade for the UHF frequency band with a VHF bypass. It enables simultaneous operation of multiple transceivers in a cosite environment and is factory configured for an ARC-210 interface. This filter/amplifier provides multiple poles of RF selectivity to reduce broadband noise, harmonics, and spurious signals while still providing full output power in transmit mode and excellent selectivity to interfering signals at the transceiver’s RF input in receive mode. All transmit, receive, and bypass switching is incorporated into the two-port design. The ICE3005 also includes a separate audio processor circuit that mitigates popping and drop-outs in the R/T audio that are common in hopping or blanked waveforms. The ICE3005 incorporates extensive Built-in-Test capability and is qualified for military applications. A mounting tray is available for easy incorporation on your platform. Cost-effective modifications are available on the ICE3005. Please contact your sales representative at 513.870.9060 or Support@PoleZero.com for details.

MEGA-POLE® Series
MEGA-POLE™
The MEGA-POLE filter series covers the standard frequency bands within the 30 to 450 MHz range. This new filter series provides excellent selectivity while maintaining very low insertion loss. The product line also has exceptional RF power handling capability with a high third order intercept point. The MEGA-POLE filter series can be used for transmitter applications to reduce power amplifier noise, harmonics and intermodulation products, to provide bi-directional filtering directly at a transceiver’s antenna port, or other applications requiring extremely linear, high power RF bandpass filtering. It has been designed for rugged military environments per MIL-STD-810.

Canceler Series
Referenceless Canceler
The ICE2004 is an 8-channel RF Interference canceler system that achieves 40 dB of attenuation without the need for cumbersome reference signals from local transmitters. It is a simple two-port RF assembly that covers the 30 to 512 MHz frequency range. The ICE2004 unit is placed directly between the receiver and its antenna. The ICE2004 enables the reception of low-level RF signals in the presence of up to 8 strong interferers as a result of its inherent low loss path for all non-canceled signals.

Wide Band Filters (multi-octave)
ERF-5W™ Series (Single & Dual)
The new ERF-5W™ filter takes Pole/Zero’s MINI-ERF® technology to a higher level of RF power handling, with 5W (average) in-band power handling, and covering the entire military tactical radio tuning range of 30-520 MHz in one integrated package. This tunability is accomplished by the use of three poles of selectivity, multiple internal tunable filters along with high performance PIN diode RF band select switches. The tunable filters are designed to minimize size and power consumption, while maintaining high RF power handling and linearity characteristics. Serial control is accomplished via a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)-based bus.

NANO-POLE® Series
The NANO-POLE® is designed for optimal size, DC consumption, RF power handling, insertion loss, signal purity and linearity. The NANO-POLE® provides a minimum center frequency step size of 10 MHz typically but can be modified based upon request. The NANO-POLE® requires a +3.0 V supply that typically draws 5 mA when not hopping. The supply voltage should be adequately filtered as noise present on this pin will influence the RF signal purity. The NANO-POLE® uses SPI control interface.
