5.1.3 3dB UHF Splitter (05-002603)
5.1.3.1 Description
The 3dB Splitter/Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF
signals to single or multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50 load to all
inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum.
Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50 load.

5.1.4 ¼Watt 0- -30dB Switched Attenuator (10-000701)
5.1.4.1 General Application
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be
excessive. Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in
each path, to reduce the gain.
5.1.4.2 Switched Attenuators
The AFL switched attenuators are available in two different types; 0 – 30dB in 2 dB steps
(as in this case), or 0 – 15dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuation is simply set using the four
miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched
in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50 impedance over their operating
frequency at both input and output.
