Balanced FM Combiners

RFS offers a comprehensive range of FM combiners to suit all common FM combining applications. The balanced, or constant impedance, bandpass design provides the best possible frequency response and specifications, and is ideal for large multi-station channel comnbiners or when frequency spacings are very close.

A balanced module consists of a balanced pair of bandpass filters, two 3dB couplers and a balancing load. The narrowband input corresponds to the filter resonant frequency, whereas the wideband input can be any other frequency in the 87.5 - 108 MHz band. The wideband input signal loss is very low because it does not pass through the bandpass filters. Modules can therefore be cascaded to form a multichannel combiner. The module design enables extra channels to be easily added at a future date.

• Compact size with small footprint for design power rating
• Can be field retuned to any frequency in the 87.5 - 108MHz band
• Invar temperature compensation for stable operation
• Vertical entry and exit without additional elbows
• Forced air cooling for higher power rating
• Group delay corrector modules are available for complex multichannel systems
• Custom options with U-Links, motorised switches, monitoring systems, etc. are available
