![]() "Jeremy Salch" wrote in message ... I have one which has a input for 0-90Mhz then 120-500Mhz on the other side, and it puts them both onto one coax line. Is that called a duplexer as well or is it called something else ? 'Duplexer' is a term used to describe devices that provide greater isolation between the ports than what you seem to have. They are used on repeater stations where the transmitter and receiver operate simultaneously on frequencies close together. The transmitter is producing anywhere from a few watts to several hundred watts, and the receiver cannot be 'desensed.' The duplexer acts as a sharp filter as well as a combiner, allowing both units to use the same antenna. There are other names for similar devices, which vary in sophistication. The simple TV-antenna splitter allows two receivers to use a common antenna, but you don't get much isolation between the output ports and you wouldn't transmit much power through one. There are power splitters and combiners that you can buy or build. As you have not stated the application it is impossible to tell you what you need. Could you be more specific about what it is that you are intending to do with this device? "PM" |
