Good day! Has anyone got any application information for the Toyocom
45E2B2 45 MHz 4 pole filter. It comes as 2x3 lead crystal cans.
Unfortunately it has been over 20 years since I started this reciever
project. (It was put to one side after a HEAP of sythesiser problems)
Of course I cannot now find any data on how the two crystal units are coupled
together.
What info I has gives a Zi/o of 4K Ohms and 0.8 pF but the only info on
coupling the 2 is an unexplained figure of 1pF?
That seems too small to me even at 45 MHz!
So what I need urgently is an clarification of the coupling required between
the 2 units.
Has any kind person got this info anywhere? Or does anyone have circuit
information on a receiver which used this filter? That would give me a lot of
clues.

Hello.
Your filter is now a discontinued product and placed at
http://www.epsontoyocom.co.jp/englis...on_filter.html

As usual, negative capacitance mean tuned resonant tank, slightly
distuned from 45 MHz.
If you can not measure shape of passband characteristics, simply
ignore these -1 pF.

If you interested, can see on my upconv receievers at
