Modern multiswitch installations – Signal MRP

Signal MRP multiswitches with passive DVB-T/DAB/FM path have been designed for small/medium size SAT installations built in star topology. One device or a group of such multiswitches feeds the subscriber outlets from individual outputs of the multiswitch(es). This topology is typical for applications in single-family homes and in buildings inhabited by several or so families.

The MRP series has passive terrestrial path. If the terrestrial signals in the location of the terrestrial antenna(s) are not strong enough, it will be necessary to use an antenna preamplifier, or even a high gain outdoor amplifier such as MA080L R82022.

The configuration with the MA080L R82022 amplifier allows for adjustment of the gain in a wide range for each band: 20 dB for FM and VHF, 30 dB for UHF.
Other band/broadband amplifiers for use in the terrestrial path
Broadband amplifiers in terrestrial paths of multiswitch systems amplify the signals received by antennas to ensure proper levels in all outlets. It includes the compensation of losses on passive network elements (cabling, splitters, outlets). The amplifiers have one broadband input or several band inputs with individual gain adjustment and a broadband output. They usually ensure compensation of the attenuation of the cabling, changing with frequency, and are equipped with power supplies. The amplifiers are characterized by high maximum output levels of over 100 dBμV.
