The Lectrosonics UMC16B-A1B1 is a 16-channel UHF antenna multicoupler that operates with any 50-Ohm antenna equipped with a BNC connector. It provides active RF distribution for up to eight diversity receivers or up to 16 non-diversity receivers.
The UMC16B-A1B1 utilizes broadband ceramic filtering with low noise to deliver outstanding performance and flexibility across the 144 MHz passband. The signal amplifier is a high-current type with a very high IP3 (third order intercept) that minimizes intermodulation artifacts.
The unit is housed in a standard 1-RU rackmount assembly with rugged connectors.
Multiple Power Options
- The UMC16B can be powered from an external supply, 10 to 18 VDC for mobile applications, or from 100 to 240 VAC for installations using the regulated power supply furnished with the unit
- A locking connector on the rear panel secures the power connection
Other Features
- Inputs: Two 50-Ohm BNC jacks on the rear panel
- Outputs: Sixteen BNC jacks on the rear panel (eight jacks per antenna)
- The amplifier output is distributed to the output jacks using a Wilkinson "strip-line" RF splitter
- The splitter design allows unused jacks to remain un-terminated with only a slight effect on other channels
