Overview
The Alpha 301 satellite radio combiner allows simultaneous transmission and reception of any two military
tactical UHF satellite radio channels on a single antenna.
Applications
Designed for continuous operation in tactical environments, the Alpha 301 is packaged in a compact, rugged,
weatherproof housing. Flexibility extends to fixed site locations, boats, vehicles, shelters and racks.
Features
- Simultaneous two-channel operation at 200 watts per channel
- Three modes of operation to optimize RF performance
- Powered via Bias-T or power connector
- Remote control operation
- No T/R switching, ensuring compatibility with the fastest switching modes of the user terminal
Benefits
- Optimal performance in dual channel transmit and receive operations
The satellite radio combiner incorporates transmit and receive filtering to guard against performance
degradation in either channel during simultaneous transmit and receive operations.
- Designed for rugged field use in tough environments
