Connecting to the Antenna and the Model 1133A
The male Type F connector on one end of the antenna cable mates with the female Type F connector
on the antenna. Avoid placing mechanical stress on the cable attachment to the antenna. The male
Type F connector on the opposite end of the antenna cable connects to the female Type F connector
on the rear panel of the Model 1133A.
User-Supplied Antenna Cables
Any RF cable meeting the requirements described above for loss (
<
21 dB at 1575.42 MHz) and dc
resistance (
<
15 ohms total loop resistance) may be used with the Model 1133A. However, prior to
using a non-standard antenna cable, verify proper antenna operation described in Section 4.2.
