HARDWARE INTERFACE  

 

The RF Input connector is SMA (female). 

 

The RF Output connector is SMA (female). 

 

The pin-out definitions for the 9 pin Micro-D socket connector are provided in Table 5. In a typical 

installation, the PA module is mated to a host controller board via a cable harness. 

 

 

The RF Out SMA connector is the antenna connection. This connection should always 

be loaded into 50 

Ω

, otherwise the PA could be damaged.

INTERFACE CABLE HARNESS    

The cable harness that connects the host controller to the 9 pin Micro-D connector of the NuPower 

15D05A-C01-S01 is made up of 9 wires.
