Summary
A 5052 diplexer is used to combine the output from 2 UHF aerials into a single satellite cable that can then be distributed and feed into TVs or Digital Terrestrial TV receivers. The Diplexer filters out signal outside the desired range so that:
- Input 1: channel 2-50
- Input 2: channel 52-69
Tools Needed
Equiment needed
- UHF Aerial (qty: 2)
- Triax TFC 50/52 Diplexer
- Satellite cable
- F connectors (qty: 3)
Procedure
- Take 2 assembled UHF Aerials with satellite cable wired into them
- Terminate each of the cables with an F-connector
- Connected a UHF aerial to both Input 1 and Input 2
- note if using banded UHF aerials make sure they overlap with the input range (see above)
- Install the diplexer and TV aerials on a pole and align to the correct transmitters
- connect the output from the diplexer to a coaxial cable terminated with an f-connector that can be used to distribute the signal around the house
- Connect the output to a MPEG4 TV or Digital Terrestrial TV using a coaxial connector
Saorview and Freeview Transmitters
The above map shows all the main Irish Saorview transmitters and also the UK Freeview transmitters which could possibly be picked in regions of Ireland.
Saorview & Freeview Frequencies
The table above gives the primary transmission channels and the channels range used by each of the transmitter featured in the map above.
Possible Saorview & Freeview Combinations
As you can see from the table above it is only possible to combine aerials if their frequency range do not overlap, so as to avoid interference.
