Link CX-24 Basic Structure
1.7.1 Radio
Links
Each radio link includes two Link CX-24 terminals. Each terminal consists of a Link CX-24 radio with an
integral 12” diameter reflector antenna. Generally, the Link CX-24 terminals are mounted outdoors on a
tower or building.
1.7.2 Data
Stream
The DS-3 or Ethernet data signals enter the Link CX-24 and are modulated into the RF data stream. The
RF radio signal radiates from the local antenna and propagates to the remote antenna. At the remote
terminal, the received signal is demodulated and de-multiplexed, separating the payload data and the
overhead management data.
1.7.3 Link CX-24 Models
The Link CX-24 is manufactured in two configurations, namely versions with DS-3 or Ethernet carried
over the 24GHz link.
Link CX-24 models are described in Table 1.1.
