GPS Antenna Splitter – Applications and Benefits
High precision Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation and testing applications often call for the use of multiple receivers processing the signal from a single antenna. To send a single input to multiple outputs, a GPS splitter is required. Using a splitter allows the user to save time and money by not installing multiple antennas. These
