1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1. Introduction and Description

This manual explains the installation, operation and maintenance of the ACOM3x2000A three way, broadband HF

power splitter / combiner.

The ACOM3x2000A is a HF power splitter / combiner which is a passive device designed to sum the outputs of three

HF linear amplifiers into a common load while the amplifiers are driven by a single exciter. For this purpose, the

exciter's (HF transceiver) output power is split in three equal channels, fed to the three amplifier inputs, while the

amplifier outputs are combined and then fed to the common load (antenna). The three splitter output ports as well as

the three combiner input ports are RF-isolated from each other to eliminate the mutual coupling between the three

amplifiers. All ports are designed for 50 Ohm characteristic impedance.

Using three amplifiers permits powering them from a three-phase mains power line. This would distribute the load

among the three power line phases and is preferred to the case with a single-phase power line but loaded three times

greater. An additional benefit with a three-phase power line is considerable reduction of the mains parasitic

modulation of the combined RF signal.

For proper operation, the combiner requires three amplifier outputs having equal amplitudes and phases, i.e. three

coherent signals. This is achieved by the use of three identical amplifiers in the three channels . For best results we

recommend three automatic amplifiers of the type ACOM2000A. Manual tune amplifiers with a precise tuning

indicator like ACOM1200, ACOM1000, ACOM1010 or ACOM1011 can be used too. All these models use a

broadband input network which sets minimum phase differences between the units.

An automatic protection circuit is implemented in the ACOM3x2000A, which monitors the three amplifier outputs

during operation. In case of an imbalance, the protection trips thus cutting the drive to the amplifiers and switching the

transceiver output to an internal 50 Ohm dummy load. The imbalance power, both input and output, is swamped by

powerful resistors until the protection trips. Therefore the transceiver and the three amplifiers are well protected.

After fixing the trouble you can resume operation by pressing the button RESET.
