alidav Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have seen this company Leicozic (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32961947715.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.1.5a0435e3w4c4i2&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.146401.0&scm_id=1007.13339.146401.0&scm-url=1007.13339.146401.0&pvid=fd14c1ac-f7b3-485b-9e09-7785935d7987) that has many products as iem receivers compatible with sennheisers and rf distributors, has anyone tested their antenna? they are all active, can be used as passive without any DC applyied to them? how do they look constructively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resonate Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Active antennae need power. They will not work without it. They are a different design. https://www.rfwireless-world.com/Terminology/Active-Antenna-vs-Passive-Antenna.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the photo, it seems you can disconnect the preamplifier or even insert an attenuator depending on the gain you choose. Of course provided the block diagram really describes it. However, I guess the gain selection switch might need DC power in order to operate. I don´t see a photo of the switch itself. But in that case you can use a simple bias-tee like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Bias-Tee-10MHz-6GHz-Broadband-Frequency/dp/B07RZSPQD9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=bias+tee&qid=1570475344&sr=8-1 Of course, this is just an educated guess. Beware active antennas without filtering in front of the preamplifier though. HTB1xeBlaojrK1RkHFNRq6ySvpXaF.jpg.jp2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
