Deployed in wireless infrastructure applications, radio frequency (RF) power splitters are low loss reactive splitters used for the distribution of RF and microwave signals to radio transceiver antenna systems and radiating cables. By equally distributing RF signals to all outputs with low loss and excellent amplitude and phase balance, these power splitters from HUBER+SUHNER guarantee that high quality RF signals will be transmitted from the antenna, as well as the cable. This solution helps to power impressive wireless connectivity functionality in radio, as well as mobile communications systems.
According to the company, a broad range of power splitters are available with a variety of connectors. These include N, DIN7/16 and SMA (News - Alert) type connectors. These RF power splitters have been designed to split even high power multi-carrier signals of all existing mobile phone systems.
While multiband units simplify wireless connectivity for OEMs and multi-system operators, smaller units with SMA connectors are tailored for superior wireless connectivity in picocell wireless communication systems.
Besides distributing RF signals to antennas and radiating cables, power splitters are also being utilized for wireless connectivity in most mobile communication bands. They provide 2-way, 3-way or even 4-way RF-power splitting configurations.
Some key features of HUBER+SUHNER’s power splitters include superior RF/microwave performance; low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and insertion loss; 50 Ohms impedance, 150 dBc (typical); passive intermodulation (PIM) level (3rd order, N and 7/16 connector styles); and a rugged and reliable design. Plus, this wireless connectivity solution can handle frequency ranges from 698 MHz to 6 GHz, and meet waterproof IP65 or IP67 specs. Furthermore, it offers DC continuity for outdoor powering and an optional protective cover kit is available for outdoor installations.
Installer friendly and robust, the RF power splitters offers a cost efficient solution for connecting two or more antennas to one radio transceiver.
