De-rating Table

After the downlink gain and the output composite pow-
er are set, the power-per-channel must be measured to 
ensure that the downlink signal level is a high enough 
at the RF Output port and is suffi cient to provide the 
desired coverage.

The table at right summarizes the power-per-channel 
de-rating requirements for FM type modulation 
schemes.

DHRU Uplink Control

The DHRU Uplink control and monitoring gives the 
user the ability to change the gain and set parameters 
for uplink path optimization. 

The settings and diagnostics can be implemented via 
the local USB port. See
