-
High-Performance RF Amplifier: Features a low noise figure of 0.35 dB and an OIP3 of +34 dB, handling even the most demanding RF environments with ease.
-
Antenna Distribution: Distributes signals across two amplification channels with four outputs, ensuring reliable signal delivery to your receiver systems.
Advanced RF Bandpass Filtering for Clean Audio Signals
The MicPlexer 3 features a newly designed, continuously tunable bandpass filter, offering exceptional RF rejection and preventing interference from walkie-talkies and mobile devices. This advanced filtering ensures that unwanted RF signals, such as those operating at 460 MHz (common for UHF walkie-talkies), are sharply attenuated by up to -36 dB, protecting your wireless system from potential disruptions.
With its 50 MHz adjustable bandpass window (e.g., centered at 550 MHz), the MicPlexer 3 provides superior signal clarity, allowing you to focus on your desired frequency range while eliminating harmful interference. The filter’s steep attenuation ensures high-quality performance, even in crowded RF environments.
Continuous Tuning for Maximum Flexibility
The MicPlexer 3 allows for continuous 2 MHz step tuning across its broad operating range of 470–665 MHz and 745–965 MHz. This fine-grained control enables users to precisely adjust the filter to their specific frequency needs, ensuring clean, interference-free signal paths.
RF Distribution with Adjustable Output Levels
Designed for professionals who demand flexibility, the MicPlexer 3 offers two amplification channels with four outputs, making it the perfect solution for distributing signals in multi-channel wireless setups. The unit features adjustable output levels:
-
-10 dB to +6 dB for the 470–665 MHz range.
-
-10 dB to +3 dB for the 745–965 MHz range.
This level of control ensures that your system can be fine-tuned to match specific signal strength requirements, providing optimal performance in a variety of setups.
Overload Indicators for Reliable Operation
The MicPlexer 3 includes a built-in overload LED indicator for each antenna input. When the input signal exceeds safe thresholds, the indicator lights up, allowing you to quickly identify and address any potential issues that could affect performance.
SMA Antenna Inputs for Easy Bypass
Equipped with SMA antenna inputs, the MicPlexer 3 provides a simple way to bypass the unit when necessary, offering additional flexibility in your wireless system configuration.
