6-to-2 antenna switch MK2 TRIPLEXER

Main functions

• Six ports switchable to two inputs/outputs
• Frequency range DC-60 MHz
  
• Characteristic impedance 50 Ohm
  
• High isolation and low insertion loss
• Designed for Diplexers and Triplexers
• 50 Ohm dummy loads at all ports
• Dummy loads with protections
• Power rating DC to 30 MHz
  • 3 kW continue wave
  • 4 kW PEP (SWR < 1:1.7) - tested with OM-4000
• Control positive DC 2 x 6 or 2 x BCD voltage
• Hazzard board protection with 2 x 6 and BCD inputs
• First-Win logic
• Without DC power the antenna ports are connected to dummy loads
• High quality RF PCB thickness 2 mm
• High quality connectors
• Aluminium shield enclosure
• Aluminium mounting holder with bracket - pipe max 52mm
• AL box size 222x145x75 mm
• ASSEMBLED VERSION

Parameters

• Frequency range DC-60 MHz
• RF power up to 4 kW
• Dummy loads 50 Ohm/5W with thermal protection
• High isolation between A and B ports: 100dB (20m), >88dB (10m) - no port selected
• High isolation A-1 and B-2: >95dB (80m), >88dB (20m), >80dB (10m), 70dB (6m)
• Insertion loss better than 0.04dB (10m), 0.02dB (20m)
• Control DC 2 x 6 wires + 12 to 15 V or image
• Control 2 x BCD + 3 to 15 V (TTL compatible or direct 13 to 15 V BCD) image
• When the BCD voltage is higher than 13 V, it directly supplies the relay
• BCD inputs with optocouplers and protections
• BCD inputs wide range 3 to 15 V DC
• BCD inputs with positive control compatible with OM-power, Microham. Pull up for open collector - image
• BCD current 3V3 = 2 mA, 5 V = 4 mA, 9 V = 8 mA, 12 V = 10 mA (external 13.8 V)
• Supply current for 13.8V up to 150 mA
• * Isolation measured with port A connected to dummy load, B open

Isolation example

• TRX A output power 1kW = 60dBm
• Isolation to port B is 80dB → 60dBm - 80dB = -20dBm
  
• ~ 10uW at TRX port B

⚠ DO NOT forget to

• Isolation between antennas!
• The safe power isolation is not only about the switch isolation!
  
• Never switch relay during TX!

Connection

• You can use 2 x 6 + GND = 13 wires (12 to 15 V DC)
• You can use 2 x BCD (TTL) + GND + 13.8 V = 8 wires
• You can use 2 x BCD (> 13 V) + GND = 7 wires
