RF-Splitters
Welcome to our webshop, where we offer an extensive collection of vintage and hard-to-find electronics parts, including the essential splitter. A splitter is a technical device that divides the signal from a source between two or more outputs. This versatile component is crucial in various electronic equipment and systems, from audio and video applications to telecommunications and computer networks.
In our collection you will find different types of splitters, including the analog and digital varieties. Whether you need an audio splitter for your vintage stereo, a video splitter for your old television or a data splitter for your classic computer, we have it all. Each piece in our collection is thoroughly tested and verified to ensure it meets original specifications.
Our goal is to help vintage electronics enthusiasts and collectors find the parts they need to keep their equipment in top condition. So if you're looking for a specific splitter or other hard-to-find electronics parts, you've come to the right place.
- A Splitter is a crucial component in electronics with the primary function of dividing a signal into two or more output signals. They are designed to operate at a wide range of frequencies, depending on the type and application. They are passive, meaning they do not require a power supply to operate. They play a crucial role in sending a single signal to multiple devices without loss of quality. Splitter performance is often indicated by parameters such as isolation, phase and amplitude balance, and power distribution.
- There are several types of splitters, such as the hybrid splitter, resistive splitter, Wilkinson splitter and waveguide splitter. Hybrid splitters are designed to distribute signals evenly and are used in applications where one output must be able to go out of service without affecting the others. Resistive splitters distribute the signal evenly but have high resistance that can lead to signal loss. Wilkinson splitters offer high isolation between output ports making them ideal for applications that require a high degree of independence between ports. Waveguide splitters are used for microwave and millimeter-wave applications.
- Splitters find application in a wide range of electronics, including telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting, fiber optic communications, and satellite communications. They are also used in RFID systems, antenna systems, and network analyzers. They are essential for simultaneously transmitting a signal to multiple devices, such as in a cable TV system where a single signal is distributed to multiple televisions.
- The range of splitters varies widely depending on the application. They are available in different frequency ranges, from low frequency audio and video splitters to very high frequency satellite and radar splitters. They also differ in terms of power output, with some designed to handle very high power levels. In addition, various physical configurations are available, such as in-line, block, and panel mounting.
The Wilkinson splitter is a specific type of RF splitter known for its high isolation between output ports and its ability to maintain equal power distribution even when an output is terminated. The Wilkinson splitter uses a quarter-wave transmission line and a resistor to distribute power evenly and minimize reflections. The output ports are fully isolated, meaning that if interference occurs in one output port, it will not affect the other output ports. This makes the Wilkinson splitter ideal for applications that require a high degree of independence between ports, such as in phase array antennas and telecommunications equipment.
