AIS Splitter
Pole/Zero offers an integrated AIS Splitter/Receiver system in a rugged flange mount or DZUS chassis. The splitter taps off a path from the existing transceiver, auto-blanks the secondary path during primary high-power transmissions (fast attack, slow decay), and provides high selectivity bandpass filtering for receiver protection and interference mitigation. This Splitter/Receiver enables maritime Automatic Identification System (AIS) monitoring from an existing VHF antenna path. In addition, an on-board converter provides RS-422 balanced outputs from unbalanced RS-232 inputs. Includes mounting accommodations for Smart Radio, Shine Micro and Protec receivers (wiring harnesses available).
This Splitter/Receiver supports frequency hopping or single channel tactical communications; SDR, test/measurement, and other applications needing multiple receive outputs and high power handling. Potential installations include avionics, UAVs, ground systems and vehicles, as well as shipboard or lab environments.
In addition to the AIS application, this splitter design can be tailored for other applications such as adding a Guard path to an existing antenna. Please contact your sales representative at 513.870.9060 or support@polezero.com for details.
