[Repeater-Builder] Re: Theory versus practice (close spaced transmitters)

2005-02-07 Thread skipp025


Hi Ken,

Shouldn't be a big problem if both repeaters have both 
physical and electrical distance from each other. Both 
would probably require dual port (min) circulators - 
isolators and individual antennas with the mentioned 
physical and electrical isolation.

The best option is a trade and also depends on 
where you can put the antennas on the tower. You can 
do it all on one antenna, but you'd be stuck with 
using a hybrid and a net loss of 50% (min) power.

If you'd like the best receive option, duplex both 
receivers off a top antenna with one transmitter. 
Run a lower antenna for the second transmitter. 

The frequency spacing would normally require a one 
antenna hybrid, which eats about 50% of your power 
into a termination or load port. Smart money would 
just add a second antenna for the second transmitter. 

cheers,
skipp

Thanks for the input, guys (Neil's butterfingers in dialing a phone number
notwithstanding!).

Yea, I definately want to avoid xmtr combiners if at all possible. The
closer the spacing of the ports, the more ridiculous the loss becomes, so
the 2nd xmt antenna option is much more attractive. I have plenty of
circulators laying around (not to mention one of the repeaters is a Micor
"factory" repeater, so it has a circulator already). 

Anyway, we'll see how it goes and thanks again!

Ken
