Antennas
The CPE consists of the following modules:
Module
Description
Base-Band board:
Includes the WiMAX 16e MIMO Base-Band SoC and runs the 16e
MAC + PHY, user interface, and analog front end interface to the RF
module.
Power Supply board with DC/DC power supply:
Converts 48 VDC input to the voltages feeding the Digital and RF
modules.
RF board:
Single transmit/dual receive module that modulates the analog
WiMAX signal input from the Base-Band modem to the high
frequency RF output. Several RF modules exist, each supporting a
different frequency band.
Chassis
Antenna or Antennas:
Dual omni or polarization antennas supporting MIMO schemes.

Outdoor Grounding System
Verify the antenna or cable system is grounded. The CPE antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the
NEC.
WARNING!
Fire hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. To reduce the risk of fire, use
only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord between indoor and outdoor units.
Specifically, the requirement the grounding conductor be not less than 10 AWG (Cu). The grounding scheme
should either be in accordance with UL 96 and 96A Lightning Protection Components and Installation
Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, or tested in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497.
