Can A RF Splitter Be Used as A Combiner?
The short answer is, yes. A RF splitter and combiner are the same passive network devices, and to use a splitter as a combiner, the input signals are placed in the combining ports of the splitter, where the combined output is then available at the splitter input port. Typically, power divider/combiners are designed and packaged in such a way that the splitter input port/combiner output port are...
What is an RF Circulator?
RF Circulators are ferromagnetic passive RF components that are used to provide isolation between the forward and reverse signals at the point of the signal chain where the RF circulator is placed. In some instances, an RF Circulator is also referred to as an RF Duplexer, which is not the same as an RF Diplexer. RF Circulators are commonly used at an antenna port to isolate the transmit...
