The new Receiver Multicouplers

RFI’s latest addition to the expandable Receiver Multicoupler product range covers the entire 698-960 MHz frequency range, offering excellent features and performance. They are used to improve the signal-to-noise
performance of a two-way radio system, are compatible with both analogue and digital technologies and distribute received signals from a single antenna system to multiple base station receivers.

The two-way radio marketplace is a changing landscape. The
introduction of digital echnologies, shared networks and ever increasing expectations for reliability have raised the bar in
receiver multicoupler requirements.
In response to these emerging demands, RFI is pleased to announce the introduction of the latest member to its range of high performance Receiver Multicoupler products.

  • 12 VDC operation (18-36VDC, 36-60VDC or 100-240VAC
    options available)
  • Manual or programmable gain setting
  • New Auto-Gain feature!
  • “Full-band” operation 698-960 MHz (132-174 MHz and
    380-520 MHz also available)
  • Integral status monitoring
  • In-built amplifier redundancy
  • Local or remote alarm outputs
  • Low noise amplifiers (LNA)
  • Local or remote programming
  • Ease of expandability

RFI Releases New Auto-Gain Feature for Receiver Multicouplers

The new Auto-Gain feature automatically maintains the net gain of the Receiver Multicoupler in the event of a failure in one half of the quadrature LNA circuit, maintaining the wireless systems performance at its optimum capability during the failure site. Gain compensation is automatically restored back to its original value on rectification of the failed state.
The firmware feature now ships as standard in all Expandable Receiver Multicoupler models and can be retrofitted into existing units by a simple Flash upgrade to firmware version 1.1.
