matching 2 sources to 1 antenna - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have two 50 Ohm sources, 190 MHz and 160 MHz, 10 dBm. I want to connect both sources to one lambda/4 antenna (center frequency = 175 MHz) to transmit the two signals at the same time. Do I need something like a directional coupler because I want a high isolation between the two sources? In addition, I need a matching circuit for both sources. Does anyone have an idea what type of circuit design will be the best choice for this application?
Thank you for your help.

You could use a directional coupler or a Wilkinson power divider, though at 175 MHz, it might be quite big.
