A distribution amplifier, or distribution amp, ensures an input signal is evenly distributed to multiple outputs, maintaining signal integrity without loss.
These amplifiers find widespread use across television, radio, CATV, and audio systems. They are essential for tasks like broadcasting a single antenna signal to various televisions or radios and disseminating CATV station signals across multiple rooms in a building.
Distribution amplifiers come in two varieties: passive and active splitters. Passive splitters, which do not need power, split signals with potential signal attenuation as the distribution scale increases. Conversely, active splitters, requiring external power, not only distribute but also amplify signals, offering better performance at a higher cost.
