DATASHEET:
Overview
The rugged GPS Source S18WI splitter operates wirelessly and eliminates the needs for cables. It can be used to monitor the current of the GPS antenna and users will be notified if the antenna is not working properly.
The S18WI is highly configurable and supports a wide range of optional features. For instance, the DC bias “Pick & Choose” circuit allows it to apply the active antenna DC input to the RF outputs.
One DC input will be used to power the antenna and if it fails, the DC bias will change to another DC input automatically so that the antenna will continue to operate.
Users can configure the gain value of the S18WI according to their needs. It also supports an optional GPS filter on the input, which will greatly reduce interference from other sources. In addition, the sealed design of the S18WI enables it to work in rough environments.
