Test and Measurement

Every radio system uses a plethora of passive coaxial components: Power dividers/combiners, attenuators, loads, lightning protection, hybrid couplers, isolators, circulators, adapters, etc… Whether it is for your testing needs or to be installed permanently at a site, we have the hardware you need.

Inter Series and Intra Series Adapters


Specification
 

Need to change the sex of a connector or go from one type of connector to another? The following list is but a fraction of the adapters available. Contact your local Gap Wireless sales representative if you can’t find what you are looking for.

Pre-made Adapter kits


Specification
 

Certain adapters are used more frequently than others. These pre-made kits were built with the most popular adapters that are used in the industry. Custom adapter kits are also available.

Lightning Protection


Specification
 

Protecting your human and hardware resources from lightning strikes and electrical surges is simple and can save a lot of grief. Models are available in gas capsules with DC pass thru for TTA and AISG antenna control as well as in quarter wave length technology.

Custom Jumper Cables


Specification
 

We offer custom made jumper cables using flexible and super flexible corrugated cable. Each jumper cable is available with a unique serial number and test data.

Attentuators


Specification
 

Available in various attenuation values and connector styles in power ranges from 2W to 150W. Special configurations for higher power values can be custom ordered.

Couplers


Specification
 

Used for sampling forward or reflected power or for splitting off signals in in-building passive distributed antenna systems. Hybrid couplers are also used to combine high power signals with minimal insertion loss.

Power Dividers


Specification
 

Split or combine signals up to 20W in configurations ranging from 2:1 to 16:1. For higher power needs, refer to H-Series and reactive splitters.

Isolators and Circulators


Specification
 

For less than a few hundred dollars, protect the front end of costly transmitting radio or test equipment. Circulators can also be used as a lower cost alternative to a duplexer.

Terminations


Specification
 

These are available in many connector, frequency and power ratings. Precision loads can be used to calibrate test equipment.

Wi-Fi Antennas


Specification
 

Performance of WiFi networks is directly related to signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio. Using the proper antenna can make a big difference in total user throughput.  We carry a wide selection of horizontal beamwidths, electrical downtilt and gain values in order to find the antenna that is right for your environment.

Bias Tees and DC Blocks


Specification
 

Bias Tees are used to inject DC voltage on transmission lines in order to provide power to active elements on towers such as tower top amplifiers.  Next generation bias tees also integrate VSWR monitoring and AISG 1.1 and 2.0 control of variable electrical downtilt antennas.  DC blocks perform the opposite action in stripping away the DC voltage from the center conductor of coaxial transmission system.  DC blocks are often used to protect the front end of receivers on test equipment or base stations.

Waveguide to Coax Adapters


Specification
 

We offer a standard product line of precision rectangular waveguide-to-coax adapters covering waveguide sizes from WR-28 through WR-430.  Coaxial connectors include N, SMA, K, 2.4 mm and V as appropriate for the frequency range and application, with both male and female types. Low insertion loss and low VSWR are the key features of these adapters.
