GP-Divider 2W SMA — 2-way GNSS Signal Splitter

Overview

The GP-Divider is a 2-way GNSS signal splitter designed to share a single GNSS antenna between two separate receivers. Operating across the 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz frequency range, it supports all major GNSS bands and features a compact aluminum enclosure for versatile system integration.

Technical Summary

• Device Type: Passive 2-way GNSS signal splitter
• Frequency Range: 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz
• Maximum RF Input Power: 1.5W
• Input Connector: SMA Female
• Output Connectors: SMA Male (OUT 1), SMA Female (OUT 2)

Operational Use Cases

• Sharing a single GNSS antenna feed between primary and secondary receivers.
• Distributing timing or navigation signals in multi-receiver test environments.

Deployment Environments

Housed in a lightweight aluminum enclosure, this splitter is suitable for integration into diverse platforms, test racks, and electronic systems requiring reliable localized RF signal distribution.

Performance Metrics

• Insertion Loss: 0.7 dB
• Port-to-Port Isolation: 20 dB (typical)

Setup & Portability

The device features a compact and lightweight form factor. Integration requires verifying the mating connectors and ensuring appropriate DC power routing for active antennas.

Compatibility

Compatible with receivers and active antennas operating in the 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz GNSS bands. OUT 1 supports DC pass-through for powering active antennas, while OUT 2 is DC blocked and features a 330 Ohm internal load.

FAQs

• How is DC power handled across the output ports? OUT 1 provides DC pass-through to power an active antenna. OUT 2 is DC blocked and includes a 330 Ohm internal load to maintain impedance matching.
• What frequency bands does the splitter cover? The device operates from 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz. This bandwidth accommodates all major global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals.
• What connector types are required for integration? The splitter uses an SMA Female input connector. The outputs consist of one SMA Male connector on OUT 1 and one SMA Female connector on OUT 2.
• Problems we solve: where do we start with incomplete requirements? An incomplete specification can make product selection difficult. Start by sharing the task, operating environment and known constraints with Cyntony so the team can help define what to verify and which options are worth discussing (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).
