Most series combiner multicoupling designs can be satisfactorily implemented using ¼ wave, 168mm (6.625”) cavities,
but close channel spacings or a requirement to keep per-channel insertion losses to a minimum may determine that the
¾ wave or 254mm (10’) models are more suited in a particular application. For assistance in choosing the correct cavity
for your requirements please contact your nearest RFI Sales office.

Note: The use of cavity multicouplers for combining multiple channels with minimum frequency spacings may
result in undesirable levels of isolator load heat dissipation due to interchannel coupling. Applications involving
such requirements should be discussed with RFI prior to ordering to ensure the optimum solution is provided.

¼ wave or ¾ wave
Series combiner multicouplers in the 400-550MHz UHF band are available using either ¼ or ¾ wavelength cavities. ¾ wave
cavities have a higher Q (or selectivity), and as such they can accommodate closer channel spacings than the ¼ wave models
for a comparable insertion loss.
Most series combiner multicoupling designs can be satisfactorily implemented using ¼ wave cavities, but close channel
spacings, or a requirement to keep per-channel insertion losses to a minimum, may determine that the ¾ wave models are the
most suitable in a particular application. For assistance in choosing the more suited wavelength for your requirements, please
contact your nearest RFI Sales Office.
