WiNRADiO WR-ACD-1800 Dual Antenna Combiner

The WiNRADiO WR-ACD-1800 Dual Antenna Combiner solves the age-old problem of connecting two separate HF and VHF/UHF antennas to a wide-band communications receiver. In addition to this basic functionality, this product can also serve as a DC power injector for active antennas, both for HF and VHF/UHF antenna sections.

Simplicity of installation, low insertion loss, high input isolation and wide-band operation, all make this product eminently suitable for general-purpose wide-band communications and scanning receivers from 9 kHz to 2.5 GHz, with antenna cut-off frequency 30 MHz.

The WiNRADiO WR-ACD-1800 Dual Antenna Combiner is especially suitable for use with WiNRADiO G3 series of general coverage scanning receivers, such as the WR-G305i, WR-G305e, WR-G315i and WR-G315e receivers. It can be also used with any third-party reeceivers.

A typical example of a suitable antenna system would be an HF long-wire or active antenna used in conjunction with a VHF/UHF discone, for example WiNRADiO AX-81S HF Active Antenna plus a WiNRADiO AX-71C Discone.

Features

Wide frequency range
Flat pass band
Low insertion loss
High input isolation
No DC power required for combiner operation
Provision for DC power for active antennas ('Bias-T' function)
Rugged weatherproof construction
Simple installation

The WiNRADiO WR-ACD-1800 Dual Antenna Combiner is connected between the antennas and receiver using SMA connectors and suitable low-loss coaxial cables.<./

No power supply is required for the combiner operation. To provide DC power to active antennas (for example the WiNRADiO AX-81S Active HF Antenna), we recommend using WiNRADiO SF-41 range of low-noise linear power supplies.
