Multiplexers
RLC Electronics’ Multiplexers are available in two, three of four channel versions. Adjacent passbands may be designed for a contiguous response, impedance matched through the crossover region with theoretical 3 dB power split at the crossover frequency. Alternatively, non-contiguous passbands may be selected with an out-of-band region between adjacent passbands. Multiplexers with individual channel bandwidths less than an octave are implemented with band pass filters multiplexed to a common input junction. Multiplexers with individual channel bandwidths greater than an octave are normally implemented with a cascade of lowpass/high pass diplexers. For passband frequencies below 2 GHz, lumped element designs will often achieve the desired response in the smallest package. At higher frequencies, distributed coaxial structures are employed to achieve the lowest possible loss. RLC Electronics can supply Multiplexers for most applications, including commercial, telecommunications, and military specifications. Contact the factory with your specifications.
