OK so the splitter is a mini circuits ZAPD-21 .5 - 2 Ghz splitter. The center doesn't have a path to ground. I mounted it on my rack next to my Thunderbolt clone and hooked it up leaving the other port open. The thunderbolt appears to be working fine and I have 5 volts on the center pin. The other unit I want to hook up is a Jupiter engine disciplining a 10 Mhz OXCO. On the Jupiter I hooked pins 1&2 together so it also puts out 5 volts. Any words of encouragement or discouragement before I hook up my Jupiter to the splitter? If/when it locks up I want to compare the 2 units. I have a handheld 2 channel scope.
Hi, I use a resistive DC-4GHz minicircuits splitters with success, both antenna ports providing 5V. I also have used just a simple BNC TEE surprisingly without any problems whatsoever. Sometimes that works better than an Agilent 1-to-2 splitter since it doesen't add any amplifier noise. Don't connect a 3V configured GPS with a 5V one though even though the ports are usually overcurrent protected. bye, Said <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
