Description

Contemporary Research QCA9-33 Active RF Combiner with 8 High-Level + 1 Low-Level InputsThe Contemporary Research QCA9 33 is an active RF combiner that includes eight high level inputs and one low level input, combining with high isolation as well as amplifying up to a 33 dBmV output level. Designed for QMOD HDTV applications, the eight RF inputs typically receive 29 dBmV RF from QMOD HDTV modulators. The ninth input is for up to 19 dBmV RF signals, such as incoming cable feed, a control channel from an ICE HE Head End control modulator,

The Contemporary Research QCA9-33 is an active RF combiner that includes eight high-level inputs and one low-level input, combining with high isolation as well as amplifying up to a 33 dBmV output level. Designed for QMOD HDTV applications, the eight RF inputs typically receive 29 dBmV RF from QMOD HDTV modulators. The ninth input is for up to 19 dBmV RF signals, such as incoming cable feed, a control channel from an ICE-HE Head End control modulator, or any other QMOD or QCA9-33. Up to eight QCA9-33 combiners can feed a single combiner to deliver up to 76 channels. The low-noise, wideband 860 MHz amplifier compensates for combining losses and adds 3 dBmV of gain, typically supplying a total output of up to 33 dBmV. This compact unit mounts in a single rack space using CR RK1 and RK-2 rack kits (available separately), and can be mixed with QMOD HDTV modulators using the same rack kits.
