RX Sensitivity Improvement Products

TX RX Systems is the Preferred Supplier to major US OEMs for Receive Sensitivity Improvement products such as Tower Top Amplifiers (TTA) and Receive Multicouplers (RMC).

TTAs are installed at the top of the tower, close to the antenna.  They significantly improve coverage by balancing the uplinks and downlinks and eliminating cable losses. RMCs facilitate coupling of multiple receivers to a single antenna, thus eliminating the need for dedicated antennas for each receiver.

Filter Products

Filters can be used individually or cascaded together to minimize noise and interference. The RF filters listed below may be cascaded to achieve a greater amount of total filter attenuation than the arithmetic sum of individual filters.  Up to 6 dB of additional attenuation is possible through the use of interconnect cables whose lengths need to be precisely calculated based on the frequencies involved.

Category Description Datasheet Datasheet Datasheet
Narrowband filters Narrowband filters
  • The Bandpass filter passes one narrow band of frequencies and attenuates all others with increasing attenuation above and below the pass frequency.

  • The Vari-Notch® filter passes a relatively narrow band of frequencies and rejects (notches out) a relatively wide frequency band.

  • The Series-Notch® filter passes a relatively wide band of frequencies while rejecting a very narrow band of frequencies.
Duplexers Duplexers
  • TX RX duplexers provide the transmitter and noise suppression characteristics you need while minimizing the loss to your carriers.

  • In VHF and UHF bands, the Vari-Notch® design is the most commonly used, with a low-loss pseudo-bandpass characteristic that can exist very close to a deep notch.

  • In 700/800/900 MHz bands, where there are large guard bands and multiple frequencies per system, the Bandpass duplexer fills the bill nicely, with the combline filter providing both low loss and space efficiency.

  • TX RX specializes in custom-designed filter configurations to fit each customer’s unique needs. Please contact us if you cannot find an off-the-shelf duplexer that meets all of your requirements.

Base Station Antennas

TX RX offers a series of robust, high-power, broadband, omni-directional antennas, designed to complement our wide bandwidth combining-multicoupling systems.

Category Description Datasheet
Antennas Antennas
  • Through a true corporate feed design, equal in-phase power is distributed to each radiating element. This method insures excellent vertical pattern control and shaping, low loss, and beam-tilt that does not vary over the operating bandwidth of the antenna.

  • This patented design was achieved through the use of a 5-chamber extrusion which acts as the central core of the antenna and provides a low impedance direct ground for lightning protection.

  • The rugged fiberglass radome and its interface to the mounting tube have survived extensive wind-tunnel testing at wind velocities exceeding category 5 hurricane forces. 

  • Antenna data files are available in TIA-IS-804 format for inclusion in popular commercial propagation analysis programs.

  • Popular models cover 380-512 MHz and 746-894 MHz bands.

Category Description Datasheet Datasheet
Isolators Isolators
  • TX RX Isolators and Circulators are designed to provide the specified isolation under continuous duty at maximum power.

  • Their conservative, rugged design and construction have a record of excellent reliability and high performance established over decades of service in mission critical systems.

  • Our portfolio of isolators and circulators come in single or dual stages, with various sizes of loads, covering VHF (118-250 MHz), UHF (300-530 MHz), and higher freq bands (764-960 MHz).
Couplers Couplers
  • Directional Couplers are for power division and signal distribution applications. The broad array of splits facilitates balanced signal distribution in the most diverse systems.

  • Bi-directional nature of the couplers allows them to be used for two-way communications with minimal loss above the desired coupling value.

  • Multiple load configurations (no load, 5W, or 25W) available for different power requirements.

  • Signal Samplers are non-directional taps for sampling RF signals from a main transmission line, with minimal effect to the power level of the signals on the main line. The sampled port can be connected to a Spectrum Analyzer for analysis and measurement, or connected to a low gain, distribution antenna in Signal Boosters systems to augment communications in buildings and tunnels.

Datasheet: Crossband Couplers File#2: Multiband Coupler

Components Components
  • The ferrite used to make circulators is a non-linear material that generates a significant amount of 2nd harmonic power which can contribute to the formation of 3rd order intermodulation products when mixed with other transmitter carriers. For this reason, either a bandpass cavity filter or a harmonic filter must always be installed between the isolator and the antenna.

  • TX RX offers single and dual-section 2nd Harmonic Filters for applications where bandpass cavities are not used.

  • 81- series of Intermodulation Suppression Panels incorporate an isolator with a high power load and a second harmonic filter on a 19” rack-mount shelf assembly. These are typically used to add an isolator to a transmitter or repeater connected to its own antenna.
