GP-Divider — 2-way GNSS signal splitter

Overview

The GPSPATRON GP-Divider is a 2-way GNSS signal splitter designed to distribute a single GNSS antenna feed to two separate receivers. Operating across the 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz frequency range, it provides a compact, low-loss distribution solution for complex positioning and synchronization systems.

Technical Summary

• Frequency Range: 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz
• Insertion Loss: 0.7 dB
• Isolation: 20 dB (typical)
• Max RF Input Power: 1.5W
• Connectors: SMA Female (Input / OUT 2), SMA Male (OUT 1)
• DC Handling: Built-in 330 Ohm DC blocked resistance load on OUT 2
• Enclosure: IP20-rated aluminum housing
• Weight: 40 grams
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +50°C

Operational Use Cases

This splitter is utilized in GNSS positioning and synchronization infrastructures where multiple receiving devices must share a single, reliable antenna feed without introducing severe signal degradation.

Deployment Environments

Housed in an IP20-rated aluminum enclosure, the GP-Divider is suitable for protected or indoor operational environments. It supports a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +50°C.

Performance Metrics

The splitter maintains an insertion loss of 0.7 dB and offers typical port-to-port isolation of 20 dB. It can handle a maximum RF input power of 1.5W.

Setup & Portability

Weighing just 40 grams, the GP-Divider features an exceptionally compact footprint. Its standard SMA interfaces facilitate straightforward, inline integration into existing coaxial cable runs.

Compatibility

The GP-Divider is compatible with standard GNSS receivers operating within the 1.164 GHz to 1.61 GHz band. OUT 2 features an integrated 330 Ohm DC blocked resistance load to manage active antenna DC bias voltages safely.

FAQs

• What is the frequency range of this GNSS splitter? The device operates between 1.164 GHz and 1.61 GHz, covering standard GNSS bands.
• How does the splitter handle DC bias from connected receivers? OUT 2 includes a built-in 330 Ohm DC blocked resistance load to prevent power conflicts and ensure safe performance when sharing an active antenna.
• What connector types are equipped on the housing? The input and OUT 2 ports utilize SMA Female connectors, while the OUT 1 port features an SMA Male connector.
• 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).
