The navigation signal splitter is a component for dividing the navigation signal antenna signal into two paths without any transmission loss. It has two RF-connectors, one signal fakra connector and one double fakra connector. Port 1 is the input for connecting to the navigation signal antenna, port 2 is the output for the car OnStar navigation system, port 3 is the output for the navigation radio. Port 1 and 2 are galvanically coupled internally using a matching network. The OnStar system supplies the navigation signal antenna with power via port 2. Connectivity is made between port 1 and 3 though and internal coupling element and low noise amplifier. The navigation radio provides the amplifier with power via port 3.
