Bias Tee/Diplexer
Bias Tee / Diplexer
BTS SMA Series
Broadband RF, DC and reference-frequency combining for satellite,
microwave and RF system applications.
Broadband Bias Tee / Diplexer
Taylor Microwave’s BTS SMA Series combines bias tee and
diplexer functions in a compact RF assembly for applications
requiring DC power and an external reference frequency on a
common RF transmission path.
The BTS series is designed for RF and microwave systems where
low loss, isolation and controlled impedance are important.
Models are available for applications extending to 40 GHz.

Bias Tee / Diplexer Function
A bias tee allows DC power to be applied to an RF transmission
line while maintaining the RF signal path. The diplexer function
provides frequency-selective coupling of an external reference
signal.
The BTS SMA Series can therefore be used to place supply voltage
and an external reference frequency onto an RF output for
applications such as remote powering of LNBs and Block Up
Converters.
