Product catalog summary
Description: The Orbital Research Mux-Tee (MT-25/40) is a versatile bias tee multiplexer that integrates a 10 MHz reference signal with an L-Band signal. It functions passively, allowing it to also extract DC signals and demultiplex a 10 MHz reference from a modem. The device combines six functionalities: bias tee, 10 MHz multiplexer, combined bias tee and 10 MHz mux, DC extractor, 10 MHz demultiplexer, and combined DC extractor and 10 MHz demux. It effectively filters unwanted DC or 10 MHz signals, ensuring low thru loss and high return loss.
Features: The Mux-Tee is compact, customizable, and stackable with Orbital oscillator products. It offers various impedance and connector options (BNC, F, N, SMA) at no extra charge and has a blue anodized finish suitable for extreme temperatures.
Electrical Specifications:
  • L-Band Bandpass: 900 to 2100 MHz (option up to 3500 MHz)
  • Thru Loss: 0.5 dB max

Orbital Mux-Tee (Bias Tee Multiplexer)-1

Orbital Mux-Tee (Bias Tee Multiplexer) Description The Orbital Research “Mux-Tee” (MT-25/40) is a premium bias tee multiplexer that does much more than insert DC current: it multiplexes a 10 MHz reference signal onto the L-Band signal. And because it is a passive device that requires no power, it can work in reverse and extract a DC signal and/or demultiplex a 10 MHz reference from your modem. The Mux-Tee is 6 devices in 1: bias tee, 10 MHz multiplexer, both a bias tee and 10 MHz mux, DC extractor, 10 MHz demultiplexer, and both a DC extractor and 10 MHz demux. The Mux-Tee filters the incoming IF signal and provides an effective block to any unwanted DC or 10 MHz that may be coming from the modem - delivering exceptional return loss and very low thru loss. In addition, the external DC and 10 MHz inserted signals are filtered to avoid any interference with the wanted IF signal. Other features include: • Small and compact with customizable form factors • Mounting plate or thru holes • Stackable with Orbital oscillator products • Choice of impedance and connectors: BNC (50 Ohm), F (75 Ohm), N (50 Ohm), SMA (50 Ohm), etc. at no extra charge • Blue anodized finish, suitable for indoor/outdoor use over extreme temperatures To order or for more detailed information, please contact us at [email protected] I 604.419.8585 I orbitalresearch.net
