Topband: BCB interference ?

Their description (to me at least) indicates an elliptic filter with a stopband peak of -40 dB at 1 MHZ and ranging to infinity (in theory) elsewhere in the stopband. In other words, 40 dB is the maximum for the discrimination factor.
 
"Indicates" is a word I feel is necessary as their filter really is poorly described. They should have said what filter type and order are used and used standard nomenclature for filter parameters. And there's no mention of passband ripple.
