Name Function
HEADSET 3.5 mm (1/8”) 3 conductor jack provides the Headset
connection for both the microphone and the earpiece. The
’Sleeve’ connector is common (Gnd.); the ’Ring’ connector
outputs the received modulation for 8-ohm earpieces, and the
’Tip’ connector received the voice modulation from the
headset’s electret microphone. 5 VDC, in series with a 2.2k
resistor, on the ’Tip’ connector provides the electret
microphone’s bias voltage.
1.5-2.5 GHz
(Band 1)
Super SMA female sparkplug type connector provides antenna
Transmit/Receive frequencies from 1.5 GHz to 2.5 GHz/ 50
Ω.
3.5-5.0 & 5.8-6.6 GHz
(Band 2)
Super SMA female sparkplug type connector provides antenna
Transmit/Receive frequencies from 3.5 GHz to 5.0 GHz and
5.8 GHz to 6.6 GHz/ 50
Ω.
7.5-10 & 11-12 GHz
(Band 3)
Super SMA female sparkplug type connector provides antenna
Transmit/Receive frequencies from 7.5 GHz to 10.0 GHz and
11.0 GHz to 12.0 GHz/ 50
Ω.
15 GHz
18.1-19.4 GHz
22-23.5 GHz
(Band 4)
Super SMA female sparkplug type connector provides antenna
Transmit/Receive frequencies from 18.1 GHz to 19.4 GHz and
22.0 GHz to 23.5 GHz and 15 GHz/ 50
Ω.
Caution:
When connecting the SMA terminated end of the cable to the front panel Band
connector, do not over-tighten the SMA cable connector as it can damage the front
panel connector’s center pin. A 5/16” open end wrench fits SMA connectors;
recommended torque is 8-inch/pounds. A special 5/16” open end is available from
Torque Controls, So. El Monte, California. The manufacturer part number is ’A5’.
Caution:
Damage may be sustained by the PathAlign-R if greater than +10 dBm is
applied to the SMA connectors.
