Smart Bias Tee
The Smart Bias Tee combines the performance of a standard Bias Tee
(e.g. type 793 304) with the function of an additional modem (AISG
standard) in order to provide DC voltage as well as remote control
signals via an RF feeder cable to a TMA or RCU.
The Smart Bias Tee provides low RF signal insertion loss from port 1 to
port 2 and vice versa. The measures taken to protect against static
discharge and lightning ensure a high level of reliability and operational
safety.
782 10253: 12 V version for use near the BTS, in order to feed-in DC
voltage and RCU control signals into a feeder cable
782 10254: 12 V version for use near the antenna, in order to control
an RCU (only required if no TMA is in use)
