About the GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP OCBs
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP RFUs and OCBs (Outdoor Circulator Blocks) can be chained in different ways for
different configurations.
Two types of OCBs can be used:
Type1 OCB
Type2 OCB
The main difference between the two types are the circulator directions. Depending on the configuration, OCB Type
1 or Type 2 are used together with waveguide shorts, waveguide loads, U Bends, C Bends, or couplers.
Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the rear. The diversity access point is
optional.
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on the OCB must be terminated using
waveguide shorts
.
