C.7 RF interference
Interference induced from nearby high-power RF transmitters might cause system failures
and in extreme cases permanent damage to the SAILOR 600 VSAT Ka equipment.
If there are problems with interference from HF transmitters, do as follows:
1. Mount ferrite clamps on the coax cable in order to provide suppression of induced RF.
The ferrites will have no effect on the differential-mode signals but increases the
impedance in relation to common-mode RFI.
2. Use 1-5 pcs. hinged clamp cores (e.g. the RFC or SFC series from Kitagawa) mounted on
the ADU cable near the ADU.
