Connect One Antenna To Two Wireless Modems

[george]

Is it possible to connect one antenna to two wireless modems (CAT-CDMA) via a simple cable splitter?

I don't think so!

Suggesting that they using the same frequency, one signal will interfering with the second on the same antenna!

But why you want to use two modems on the same Antenna?

Cheers.

To save the hassle and cost of buying an extra antenna and cable.

Can't be done.

If one transmitter transmits it'll most probably fry the receiver on the other modem as the signal hitting the receiver, when they both are connected by cable, will be much too high.

Even if the circuitry can withstand this, I still recon interference will render the things worthless.

are you trying to build a load balancing unit ?

can you see 2 different telco antennas from where you are ?

As monty pointed out, the possibility that the one signal is frying the receiver of the second modem is very high, I would also keep a distance from a few meter between the two antennas.

Thanks all for your input so far. Looks like a 2nd antenna is necessary.
