Multiband Short-Haul
Control Station Combiner

43-05-01A Series

Bird®, TX RX Systems Brand multi-channel combiners provide frequency agile operation across multiple
frequency bands. Control Station Combiners may be used to reduce the number of antennas required
on a communications site while also ensuring that predictable radio-to radio isolation is maintained
at all times - irrespective of individual radio’s Tx or Rx operating mode or antenna isolation characteristics.

Control Station Combiners can signicantly reduce tower clutter, loading, and simplify cabling installation at
Control Center facilities.

Models will support frequencies from 100 MHz to 1000MHz and are available in 4, 8, 12, and 16
channel capacities. Higher channel capacities are available upon request.

PROBLEMS } SOLUTIONS

Many bands on site with frequencies from 100 MHz to 1000 MHz

} Multiband combiner allows operation in multiple bands.

Standardization all sites

} Advance coupler technology with no need for tuning—

control stations can be connected without regard to frequency.

Space constraints

} Low Prole for space ecient installation.

Cost reduction

} Multiple bands can utilize the same combiner for cost

reduction.
