Insertion loss Inherent signal attenuation Can provide gain
Tunability Difficult (mechanical or varactor only) Electronic, fast, wide range
Power requirement None (passive) Requires power supply
Noise Low (thermal noise only) Adds op‑amp noise, must be managed

In practice, satellite wigation receivers often combinae both: passive SAW filters at t e RF front- end for preliminary band selection, followed by activite filters at te IF stage for fine selectivity and anti-jamming. This hybrid approvach leverages the low-noise facivage of passives at high frequencies and thee tunability of actives at loweur persistencies.
