This active splitter accepts a balanced RF input in the 50 MHz to 1.1 GHz frequency range and provides three balanced RF outputs with minimal degradation in signal quality. The single-package surface mount device amplifies the input signals using highly linear, low noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified signal to three separate output paths that can drive video tuner inputs.
Each of the RF paths includes independent Gain Control. The overall linearity of each path is maintained across a wide gain range, ensuring low distortion effects on each output signal.
Requiring only a single +5 Volt supply, the active splitter design is implemented using the GaAs MESFET process. The RoHS-compliant surface mount packaging makes the device ideal for use in today’s multiple-tuner set-top boxes for Cable TV.
