SRF Series Splitters and Combiners

Revision 0.1 SRF-1

1. OVERVIEW

The SRF series radio frequency ( RF ) passive splitters and combiners provide an economical method of

splitting or combining a number of RF signals in ratios of 1:2 or 1:4. They provide low insertion loss, high

return loss, flat frequency response and high isolation between channels. They can be used for signal

distribution in a RF facility, or used to expand the matrix size of Evertz Microsystems XRF1 ( 16x16 ) and

XRF6 ( 64x64 ) RF routers.

Figure 1: Front View of SRF3-64-1x2 chassis

Figure 2: Rear View of SRF3-64-1x2 chassis

The SRF products feature RF coax connectors on both sides of the chassis for mounting on either the

front or back of the rack for ease of installation and troubleshooting. They also feature an input monitoring

port for troubleshooting and diagnostics in the RF plant.

The SRF1 series is housed in a 1RU frame and the SRF3 series are housed in a 3RU frame. RF

specifications are dependent on the split / combine ratio. The list below includes all possible options of

the SRF splitter / combiners.

SRF1 SERIES:

SRF1-16-1x2 16-channel 1x2 splitter / 2x1 combiner

SRF1-8-1x4 8-channel 1x4 splitter / 4x1 combiner

SRF3 SERIES:

SRF3-64-1x2 64-channel 1x2 splitter / 2x1 combiner

SRF3-32-1x4 32-channel 1x4 splitter / 4x1 combiner

1.2. TYPICAL APPLICATION DIAGRAM

Figure 1 illustrates the use of four SRF3-64-1x2 modules to achieve a 128x128 router using four XRF6 L

band routers. On the input side, the SRF functions as a splitter and as a combiner on the output side,

allowing non-blocking routing of any input to all outputs.

2. INSTALLATION

The SRF splitters and combiners have RF coaxial connectors on the front and back side of the chassis.

The input ( common ) and monitoring ports are on the front of the panel. Output connectors are located on

the rear side of the chassis.

The monitoring port can be used for diagnostics and monitoring. This port is a –20dB tap of the common

port. Terminate this port with a 75 Ohm load when not connected.

Please note all unused outputs on a channel ( including monitoring outputs ) must be

terminated with a 75 Ohm load if they are not connected. Please contact Evertz

Microsystems for recommended termination suppliers.
