8 External Connections
RF Cabling Connections
Introduction
If the station requires both a transmit antenna and a receive antenna, the
rf cabling to/from the antennas may be connected either separately or
through a single connection with an antenna relay (Option X371).
Separate RX and TX Connectors
Stations intended for separate transmit and receive antennas are shipped
with the coaxial cables from the Power Amplifier Module and to the Receiver
Module connected to the antenna bracket on the Backplane. The
antenna bracket has two rows of three holes each. The inner row is for the
receive antennas while the center position of the outer row is for the transmit
antenna. Connect the rf cables from the transmit and receive antennas
to the N-type female connectors on the bracket as shown in
Figure 8 —1.
