General guidelines regarding RF connections & operations with test
instruments
Mute the MCPA prior to connect a signal source to Antenna Rx Input.
Avoid excessive input power.
o
Do not drive the input signal above -30 dBm, which is the
recommended maximum input level (composite).
Make sure your RF Test Instrument (Communications Monitor, Spectrum
Analyzer, etc) has an input port rated for high RF power.
o
Do not exceed the test-instrument’s input rating.
The system has been limited to a maximum gain of 120 dB. A -100 dBm
sensitivity will limit to +20dBm maximum output, and so on. For
example, to set one channel to +27 dBm desired output, the user may
choose to set the RX Threshold to -90 dBm (or -93 dBm minimum)
