MN-LPOD
2.3.1 Connector ‘J1 | LBAND IN’ or ‘J1 | Tx IN’
The
RF input connector is a Type ‘N’ female
connector. Labeled ‘
J1 | LBAND IN’
on the PS 1 and
PS 1.5 models or ‘
J1 | Tx IN’
on the PS 2 model,
typical input levels (-30 dBm), depend on desired
output power and unit attenuation. To prevent damage
to the LPOD, RF input levels should not 15
dBm.
2.3.2 Connector ‘J2 | RF OUT’
FOR SAFETY REASONS, NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE WAVEGUIDE
OUTPUT.
The
‘J2 | RF OUT’
connector may be a waveguide or coaxial interface – the type of interface
used depends on the LPOD model and/or frequency range of the unit. See Table 2-1 and
Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, or Figure 2-4.
