TPS-E Public Safety Tapper Series
Public Safety Tapper/Unequal Divider for Wireless & Indoor Application, Support VHF, UHF, TETRA, and 700-900MHz Public Safety Bands with various coupling value from 3dB to 20dB

Rev : B | Rev date : 22 Nov 2022

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RFS TPS-E Public Safety series Tapper/Unequal Divider have been designed for a variety of wireless applications covering VHF, UHF, TETRA and 700 to 900MHz Public Safety bands. The innovative asymmetric design ensures an excellent input VSWR and coupling flatness across the specified bands. The unit couples off a defined fraction of a RF signal from 3 to 20 dB with minimal reflections or loss. The broad frequency range is ideally suited for Public Safety systems.
