Thanks Dave, by antenna coupler I meant a power combiner, but,
precisely, since channels which are emitted from tv transmitters (obviously in 2 directions from my home) are not overlapping, nor are adjacent, I think of pointing logperiodical antennas to transmitters and couple them into one tv cable towards receiver. "Dave Platt" wrote in message ... Should be simple for you guys, I'd need a schematics for building 2 input antenna coupler for TV antennas. "Insufficient data". You need to be more precise about what you're trying to accomplish. I can think of at least five possible interpretations for "2 input antenna coupler": - A power divider, which allows two separate TVs or radios to be fed from a single antenna, over that antenna's full frequency range (a.k.a. a "splitter") - A power combiner, which the signals from two identical (or similar) antennas to be combined and fed to a single output (e.g. to allow "stacking" of antennas for increased directional gain). - A "duplexer", which allows the outputs of two dissimilar antennas, which handle different frequency ranges (e.g. VHF and UHF) to be fed down a single feedline. - A "channel combiner", which allows the outputs of two (possibly similar) antennas, pointed in different directions to pick up different stations, to be combined without interference. [Single-channel combiners are available commercially; more complex combiners can be made but they aren't trivial.] - An impedance matcher, which allows an antenna of one impedance to be used with a feedline of another impedance (e.g. a balun which goes from a 75-ohm coax to a 300-ohm twinlead-type antenna). -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
