Battery-Powered Modular Receiver Systems

Description

The wideband design provides the flexibility to deal with
a congested RF spectrum in any field or studio environment
by changing receiver modules. No tools are
required to remove and install the modules. Flexibility is the core concept of the design. The receiver
modules can be operated separately, each with switched
diversity reception for a total of six audio channels, or
operated in pairs for more robust frequency or ratio diversity
reception with a total of 3 audio channels. Various
combinations can also be used for particular applications,
such as a pair with ratio diversity reception and the
other four with switched diversity reception for a total of
five audio channels. The receiver modules are easy to
change with no tools required.
A high quality antenna multicoupler is included in the
receiver to ensure ideal signal distribution and isolation
between modules and to reduce overall size and complexity.
The multicoupler is actually a 1-in/7-out splitter
which provides six outputs for the receiver modules and
an additional output as a “loop thru” for another Venue
receiver. A single pair of broadband antennas can feed
several receivers connected with coaxial cable over a
wide range of frequencies. Phantom power for remote
antenna amplifiers can be turned on and off with internal
jumpers.
