Mastering Power Splitter Design: From Principle to Engineering Practice
Oct , 11 2025
In RF and microwave systems, the power splitter is a core passive component responsible for dividing an input signal into multiple outputs with minimal loss and perfect impedance balance. From cellular base stations to satellite networks and RF test systems, the power splitter ensures signal integrity across transmission paths. 1. Basic Principle of Power Splitters A power splitter divides an inpu...

Essential Knowledge for RF Engineers: Understanding Passive Intermodulation (PIM)
Oct , 23 2025
In modern wireless communication networks, maintaining signal purity and minimizing interference are crucial for ensuring system reliability and efficiency. One of the most common yet often overlooked sources of signal degradation in RF systems is Passive Intermodulation (PIM). For engineers working in network infrastructure, understanding PIM is not just optional—it’s fundamental. What is Passive...

Directional Couplers in Public Safety and DAS Networks
Nov , 06 2025
1.The Invisible Cornerstone of Reliable Communications Directional couplers may be unassuming, yet they silently determine the efficiency of RF signal transmission across networks. From public safety systems to indoor DAS coverage, they distribute power, control signal direction, and shield equipment from mismatched loads. They serve as the “silent stabilizers” of every robust RF system. 2.Underst...

What Does a Directional Coupler Do, and Why Is It Essential in DAS Projects?
Nov , 22 2025
When working on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), many engineers encounter a familiar headache: the hardware looks fine — antennas, splitters, cables all seem correctly selected — yet the actual coverage still fluctuates. Some areas have excellent signal, while others stubbornly remain weak. Experienced engineers usually check one component first: the Directional Coupler. Although it’s not as in...

How to Choose 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB Couplers
Nov , 29 2025
One of the questions we hear most often from engineers is: “Should I use a 6dB, 10dB, 15dB, or 20dB coupler — and what’s the real difference in coverage?” On paper, these numbers look like simple coupling values. But from more than two decades of manufacturing RF passive components, we know something very clearly: Choosing the wrong coupling value can break your coverage balance, distort the ...
