6.4 Typical System Configuration 

 
This section shows the 3RU Rack Mount SSPB in a common system application.    

Figure 6-4

 shows the amplifier used with a Teledyne Paradise Datacom PD25 Evolu-

tion Series L-Band Modem.   

 

6.5 IFL Cable Considerations 

 
Consideration should be given to using a high quality IFL between the indoor and    
outdoor equipment. The system designer must always consider the total cable loss for 
a given length and also the implications of the slope of attenuation across the 950 to 
1450 MHz bandwidth. 

Table 6-3

 gives the approximate attenuation vs. frequency for a 

variety of cable types. 

It is recommended to use a quality grade of 50 ohm cable such as Belden 9913, 9914, 
or 7733. Check the manufacturer’s technical data to make sure that the insulation is 
sufficient for the particular installation including the cable’s temperature range. Also 
make sure the coaxial connector from the IFL cable to the amplifier input is wrapped 
with a weather sealing tape to prevent water intrusion into the coaxial cable.
