X Engineering 2-Port Splitter-Combiners are receive signal-level RF devices that operate from 300 kHz to 30 MHz

They're typically used to split one RF signal to properly feed two receivers, or the receive antenna inputs of one transceiver and one separate receiver.

They also properly combine two receiving antennas in phase, such as Beverage antennas, to form a phased receive array.

Note: These devices cannot be used for FM broadcast, VHF, UHF, CATV or Satellite TV. They operate only MF through HF.

Features

• Broad, 300 kHz through 30 MHz operating range
• High-quality components
• Isolated ports
• Metal housing for superior shielding and longer life
• Reliable side-mount connectors: BNC female
• Economical solution to potential impedance errors that cause losses

Advantages

Splitter-Combiners match the entire antenna system to the feedline impedance; conversely, paralleling feedlines by using a T-connector divides the impedance in half, causing mismatched losses

With antennas connected directly in parallel if either one develops a high impedance open, becomes shorted, falls down, or has a feedline problem, the entire antenna system may become unusable. By using the 2-Port Splitter-Combiner, only the problem antenna is unusable; the antenna on the other port ci>Unlike quarter wave matching sections that only work on one band, these Splitter-Combiners have extremely wide bandwidth

Due to the built-in isolation and balancing, these units limit the signal loss to approximately 3 dB per port

Unlike quarter wave matching sections that only work on one band, these Splitter-Combiners have extremely wide bandwidth

2-Port Splitter-Combiners provide very high isolation between ports 1 and 2; this prevents either antenna from interfering with the other during normal operationed.
