Crossover

Crossovers are used for frequency-selective splitting of signals. A crossover divides a signal containing different frequencies into two or more outputs, at each of which different parts of the entire original frequency spectrum emerge. The structure of the crossover is essentially a combination of several bandpass filters . These can be implemented in both analog and digital form.

In the field of optics, one speaks more of spectrometers , where frequency distribution can be achieved with optical gratings or prisms .

Application examples

• Antenna splitter , for antenna cables in the context of high frequency technology
• Diplexer , in the field of microwave technology and waveguides
• DSL splitter for DSL connections via telephone lines
• Crossover network (loudspeaker) , for loudspeaker boxes in the field of audio technology
