ELIMINATE 2nd GPS Antenna
Small Size, Light Weight, Low Power (SWaP) Qualified Mil Spec Splitter
A tiny qualified splitter that still delivers full-size performance, the MS12T is perfect for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or any other applications with size and weight constraints. It is standard configured with EMI Shielding, Waterproofing and is Hermetically Sealed for long-term durability in even the most rugged applications. The MS12T will allow the signal from one GPS antenna to be split between two GPS/GNSS devices. It can be configured to Pass DC from a connected receiver to also power an external GPS Antenna or both outputs can be DC blocked.
Key Features
The MS12T Tiny GPS Splitter is a one-input, two output GPS device in which the input from an active GPS antenna is split evenly between two receiving GPS units. Ideal for platforms requiring very small, lightweight, and/or low-power equipment (i.e. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV). The MS12T can be configured to pass DC from an RF output to the antenna input port in order to power an active GPS antenna. The second RF output is DC blocked and features a 200Ω resistive load to ground to simulate an antenna current draw for any receiver connected to that port. Both outputs can be specially configured to be DC Blocked upon request.

About Our Military GPS Splitters
GPS Source splitters are deployed across defense programs because they deliver exceptional GNSS distribution without compromising signal quality. The foundation of every GPS splitter military grade model is precise RF engineering, ensuring:
High Isolation Across Outputs
Prevents interaction between receivers, reducing interference risks and protecting sensitive electronics.
Controlled Gain & Loss Management
Maintains signal power within tight tolerances across all ports—critical for timing accuracy and navigation precision.
Impedance Matching & Low Noise Architecture
Minimizes reflection, reduces noise, and safeguards signal fidelity even in complex installations.
Advanced Fault Detection (Selectable Models)
Some rugged GPS splitter units offer port monitoring to detect antenna failures, cable faults, or power disruptions in real time.
Flexible Powering Options
Flexibility allows seamless integration with a variety of military GNSS system architectures. Choose from:
- DC pass-through
- External power inputs
- AC/DC configurations
- Redundant power setups
- DC-blocking versions
Designed for Harsh and Variable Environments
Military operations demand equipment capable of withstanding environmental extremes—desert heat, arctic cold, field vibration, high shock loadouts, and electromagnetic exposure. Our MIL STD splitter devices are engineered specifically for:
- Extreme temperature swings
- High humidity and moisture exposure
- Vibration and shock typical of ground, air, and naval platforms
- Electromagnetic interference common to tactical environments
- Constant operational uptime under heavy load
We build rugged GPS splitter product designed for real-world duty cycles—not controlled lab settings. With GPS Source, you gain hardware that survives and performs in the environments your mission demands.
