2. Antenna amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_amplifier

   In electronics, an antenna amplifier (also: aerial amplifier or booster) is a device that amplifies an antenna signal, usually into an output with the same impedance as the input impedance. Typically 75 ohm for coaxial cable and 300 ohm for twin-lead cable. An antenna amplifier boosts a radio signal considerably for devices that receive radio ...

3. SMATV - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMATV

   The system consists of a master antenna and a matching transformer to match the balanced antenna with unbalanced cable and amplifiers. [5] Most antennas have an impedance of around 300 Ω. To convert it to 75 Ω, a matching transformer (or balun) is used. For trunk line isolation, a resistive inductive device known as a splitter is used. The ...

4. Diplexer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplexer

   That cable would then run from the roof into the house. At a convenient point, a second diplexer would split the two signals apart; one signal would go to the TV set and the other to the IRD of the DBS set-top box. These usually have an antenna input and a diplexer, so that the antenna signal is also distributed along with the satellite.

5. Single-cable distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cable_distribution

   Single-cable distribution is a satellite TV technology that enables the delivery of broadcast programming to multiple users over a single coaxial cable, and eliminates the numerous cables required to support consumer electronics devices such as twin-tuner digital video recorders (DVRs) and high-end receivers.

6. Twin-lead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-lead

   For this reason, when attaching a twin-lead line to a coaxial cable connection, such as the 300 Ω twin-lead from a domestic television antenna to the television's 75 ohm coax antenna input, a balun with a 4:1 ratio is commonly used. Its purpose is double: First, it transforms twin-lead's 300 Ω impedance to match the 75 Ω coaxial cable ...

7. Y-cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-cable

   A Shure FP24 preamp's mono XLR line outputs connected to an Edirol R-09 recorder's 3.5mm stereo jack line input, using a Y-cable. This is an example of consolidating connectors, as described below. A Y-cable, Y cable, or splitter cable is a cable with three ends: one common end and two other ends. The Y-cable can resemble the Latin letter "Y".

8. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

   Stubs are commonly used in antenna impedance matching circuits, frequency selective filters, and resonant circuits for UHF electronic oscillators and RF amplifiers. Stubs can be constructed with any type of transmission line: parallel conductor line (where they are called Lecher lines), coaxial cable, stripline, waveguide, and dielectric waveguide.

9. Digital television adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television_adapter

   The input digital signal may be over-the-air terrestrial television signals received by a television antenna, or signals from a digital cable system. It normally does not refer to satellite TV , which has always required a set-top box either to operate the big satellite dish , or to be the integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) in the case of direct ...
