What's in the loop interface box?
We need an AMB loop interface box and even a none AMB one is £70+pp so we're toying with the idea of making one, BUT we don't know whats inside one, lol. Does anyone know whats inside? .

Can't help you with what's in interface box.
But this is what we use for the outdoor track. http://www.transponderservices.com/b...parts.html#lib It's buried under the track (permanently connected to the loop) sealed in a tub. Been like that for the last year and works fine. MiCk B. :-)

Thats the one we were looking at but I'm pretty sure there isn't £70 worth of components in that thing. If it uses normal components it could be made for a fraction of that, its just a case of knowing what they are .

welll there will without a doubt be a resistor to alter the gain of the loop antenna what else i dont know not allot else as the decoder does the signal prosessing i think

Yea, I've heard the unit refered to as a 'choke' and it's the same block for the AMB analoge and digital systems so like you say its not a signal processer, so possibly just a noise surpressor and a regulator of some sort. If I can make them cheap I might stick some on Ebay .

The interface box on the end of the co-ax is more difficult... I believe its an impedance matching transformer amonst other bits inside. It means that the signal voltage is stepped up so that the co-ax is running at a higher level than the the loop to improve signal/noise ratio and reduce rogue transponder pick-ups from the co-ax. |
