The Symmetricom 4036B 1x15 RF Distribution Amplifier is a (1) input, (15) outputs RF distribution amplifier in a 1U Chassis. It provides fifteen isolated copies of a single input. The unit operates over a frequency range of 1MHz to 20 MHz. Fault sensing of signal level is provided on the input and every output. Faults are indicated on the front panel LEDs as well as via an ethernet interface.
The 4036B Symmetricom 1x15 RF Distribution Amplifier may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
RF signal distribution amplifier that accepts single input signal and provides fifteen identical output copies with consistent amplitude and phase characteristics across all channels. Features low noise figure, high isolation between output ports, and wide frequency response for maintaining signal integrity in multi-channel RF systems. Incorporates automatic gain control and temperature compensation to ensure stable performance across varying environmental conditions. Designed for rack-mount installation with standard RF connectors and provides remote monitoring capabilities for output power levels and system status.
Platforms
RF distribution and amplification platforms for high-frequency signal routing; integrates in broadcast and satellite communication infrastructure; supports 1x15 signal splitting with low phase noise and amplitude stability; interfaces via 50-ohm coaxial connectors; operates within rack-mountable modules or benchtop setups; designed for synchronization and timing signal distribution in complex RF environments.
Applications
Provides high-precision signal distribution for atomic timing applications, delivering stable RF outputs at 1, 5, or 10 MHz with minimal phase noise and exceptional isolation between channels. Operates with redundant power supplies in telecommunications infrastructures, navigation systems, and metrology labs where precise frequency synchronization is critical. Enables signal fanout from atomic clocks or frequency standards to multiple downstream equipment while maintaining signal integrity and stability through precision amplification and filtering circuits.
Accessories
Requires mainframe or chassis with compatible +15V DC power supply; BNC connectors (15x female 50 O) for RF input/output; front panel includes power LED and test points; rear panel features 15 BNC outputs and 1 BNC input, all 50 O impedance; rack-mount kit optional for integration into standard 19-inch rack systems.
Interfaces
One rear-panel BNC female connector for RF input. Fifteen rear-panel BNC female connectors for RF outputs. One rear-panel IEC 320 C14 AC power inlet. An optional rear-panel DB-9 female connector provides remote status monitoring. The unit is a standalone 1U rack-mountable chassis.
Specifications
This 1U rack-mount module functions as an active RF distribution amplifier, accepting a single input signal (e.g., 10 MHz, 1 PPS) via BNC and providing fifteen isolated, amplified BNC outputs. Designed for precision timing and frequency synchronization systems, it ensures low phase noise signal dissemination to multiple client devices. Connectivity includes standard BNC interfaces and AC power. Common applications encompass metrology, telecommunications, and high-integrity instrumentation requiring robust reference signal distribution.
