Multiplexers

RLC Electronics’ multiplexers are available in 2, 3 or 4 channel versions. Adjacent passbands may be designed for a contiguous or non-contiguous response. For passband frequencies below 2 GHz, lumped element designs will often achieve the desired response in the smallest package. At higher frequencies (up to 40 GHz), distributed coaxial structures are employed to realize the lowest possible loss. The unit pictured above is a diplexer that covers both L-/S-Band frequencies, as well as Ku frequencies, and exhibits low loss (< 0.5 dB per channel). This unit has been fully qualified to operate under military environments and is currently used on an airborne application.
