TW154 Regulated 0.5 to 3GHz, 3.3V Bias-Tee
The TW154 is a professional grade
wideband Bias-Tee for injecting DC
voltages onto coaxial lines. The regulated
output voltage and the high output
current makes this bias-tee highly
suitable for many active antennas and
amplifiers.
It is useable at higher
frequencies with higher insertion loss
(see data below).
The TW154 is housed in a robust
RF sealed, weatherproof (IP67) clear
anodized aluminum enclosure and is
available with 3 x SMA or TNC Jack
connectors.

* The output current limit should be de-rated to restrict the maximum power dissipated within the regulated TW154 to 1.5 W max,
and should be calculated as Imax<=(125-Tamb)/(70*(Vin-Vo)).
** The drop-out voltage of the TW154 Bias-Tee is <= 0.15 V at Iout =100 mA and <= 0.6 V at Iout=350 mA
