Default What is the purpose of a DC injector?

I see. Does this mean that the AC signal going thru the antenna cable
is biased with a DC source?

Thanks!


No. It is just two power sources using the same conductor. That is why
there are capacitors at each end of the conductor. They permit the rf/ac
signal to pass but block the dc from passing. The satellite tv systems
use this to tune the block down converters out at the dish antenna.
