TECHNICAL PRODUCT DATA SHEETS12 STANDARD HOUSING
1x2 GPS Splitter

DESCRIPTIONThe S12 GPS Splitter is a one-input, two-output GPSsplitter device. The typical application for this splitter
allows an active GPS roof antenna input which is thensplit evenly between two receiving GPS units. The S12
can be configured to pass the DC from an RF output(OUT1) to the antenna input port in order to power anactive GPS antenna on that port. The second RFoutput would feature a 200 DC load to simulate anantenna DC current draw for any receiver connected tothat port.

FEATURES
Passes all GPS and GNSS frequencies
Excellent Gain Flatness
 Gain | L1 - L2 | < 2 dB
 RoHS, REACH, and WEEE Compliant
 CE Certified
