CO1-2 Combiner

Page 14 of 36

3. USE OF THE COMBINER

3.1 Block Diagram.

Because of the simplified structure there is no RF switching, and therefore it is not
necessary to connect to the PTT of the transceiver.
The essential part of the Combiner contains exclusively passive elements; active
components are only used in the interfaces (see previous chapter).
