GPS Distribution Amplifiers

HP's GPS distribution amplifiers allow two, four or eight GPS receivers to share a single antenna. They are designed for both manufacturing and position/timing redundancy applications. For large manufacturing facilities, HP distribution amplifiers can provide as many L1 signals as the manufacturing floor requires.

Because GPS distribution amplifiers come with built-in amplification to overcome splitter losses, they can be cascaded without adding separate amplifiers and bias-tees between splitters.
