System Interface Products (SIP)
Orbital Research introduces the SP10 - 10 MHz Splitter, a System Interface Product (SIP), that enables 3 Way - 0° splitting of the 10 MHz reference signal, with under 7 dB of insertion loss, while providing over 30 dB of isolation, and a VSWR of under 1.5, at 10 MHz.
The 10 MHz Splitter can be combined with other SIP products, such as the MOS - Master Oscillator, the MOM - Master Oscillator Module, and the POP - Precision Oscillator Module so that multiple devices can be locked to the same precise 10 MHz reference.
The Problem:
Stability, phase noise, drift, bit-error rate, offset – all problems you have determined can be solved with a good external reference LNB. You have chosen a high quality oscillator as your 10 MHz source, but how do you hook them all together? You may have a BUC and two LNBs all needing 10 MHz – you’ve spent all this money to get quality components, but that can all blow away if you don’t hook them up properly.
The Solution:
Enter the SP10 – 10 MHz Splitter – it will divide the output of the oscillator, feeding equal amounts of signal to up to three devices with minimal loss. However, it is imperative that each device does not contaminate the other – this is called isolation - and you most definitely do not want switching noise from a BUC traveling back into your LNB. Each device can have peculiarities that can seriously effect the other. Equally important, is that the process of delivering a quality reference to each device does not add noise, ground-loops, modulation, or any other degradation of the reference signal.
Splitting is simple; keeping it split is the challenge met by the SP10 – 10 MHz Splitter. Remember the 20 log n lesson, where n is the number of times the 10 MHz reference signal is multiplied to lock your local oscillator - if you have a 10 billion cycle signal controlled by a 10 million cycle reference, any problem at 10 billion cycles is a thousand times worse.
System Interface Products (SIP), fit between the Outdoor LNB's or transmitters, (ODU),
and the Indoor receivers and modems (IDU).

Flexible Solutions:
An Orbital SP10 - 10 MHz Splitter integrates with other SIP modules such as the MOS or POS Oscillators, and with our Mux Tees. It can be assembled in a stack, such as a MOS Oscillator, a Mux Tee, and a Splitter, on a plate as in many of our Combiners, or in a rack, perhaps with an Oscillator and an external reference BDC.
Made for Professional Use, Made for Satellite:
Orbital Systems Interface Products are made specifically for the satellite industry, and are designed for professional and industrial quality systems. Orbital SIP products are built for rack mounting, and for use indoors or out. They are also perfect at the dish or in the rack for creating a test point for live signals - without degrading ongoing operations.

 Using a Hi Power Thru Tee to power a BUC |
Modem has DC power, but not enough to power my new BUC. |
| 4 Way Combiner with 10 MHz Oscillator and Hi Power DC insert. |
I want to lock several modems to a single 10 MHz Oscillator, and insert high power DC to my BUC. |
| Orbital 2-way Combiner using 10 MHz from one of the modems and Hi Power Mux/Tee to insert DC power |
I have a pair of modems, one of which provides a 10 MHz reference, but I don't have enough power from my modem for my new high power BUC. |
| Orbital Combiner/Divider stripping out the 10MHz from only one of two modems |
I have a pair of modems and I need to use the 10 MHz reference from one of them and split it. I need to take the L-Band signal from both modems and combine it with the 10 MHz reference. Now I need to insert DC power for a pair of high power BUCS. |
| Orbital Combiner/Divider using a MOS 10 MHz Oscillator |
I need to combine the L-Band signals from a pair of modems with an common, external 10 MHz source, and insert power to a pair of high power BUCs. |
| Using an Orbital Hi Power Thru Tee to circumvent a divider or switch |
My modem does not have sufficient DC to power my BUCs, and I can't switch DC power to the BUC, what to do? |
| Horizontal/Vertical Polarity 1 for 2 Redundant System |
We need a system that will provide us with both horizontal and vertical polarities at Ku Band. In addition, the system must offer 1 for 2 redundancy. |
