Single-Thread System Installation MN/KST12000.IOM
2.5.1 TX/IF Input (J1)
The TX/IF input is a TNC type connector that comes from the indoor unit. The input
impedance is 50
Ω , and the frequency is 70 MHz, ± 18 MHz. The typical power level is
from -43 to -19 dBm, depending on the customer’s configuration and application.
2.5.2 TX/RF Output (J2)
The TX/RF output is a WR-75 G interface with an output impedance of 50 Ω . The output
frequency range is 14.0 to 14.5 GHz. The output power level is dependent on the power
amplifier ordered in the system.
2.5.3 RX/IF Output (J3)
The RX/IF output is a TNC type connector that sends the received signal to the indoor
unit. The output impedance is 50
Ω , and the frequency is 70 MHz, ± 18 MHz.
The 1 dB output compression point is +17 dBm.
The level of the signal at the RX/IF output is a factor of input signal level and total
system gain.
The system gain is adjustable by the user over a 25 dB range.
The typical system gain includes a 50 dB LNA, making the total typical system gain 70
to 95 dB.
Note: A 60 dB LNA is only used when there are extremely long cables from the LNA to
the down converter.
2.5.4 RX/RF Input (J4)
The RX/RF input is a type N connector that comes from the LNA. The input impedance
is 50
Ω . The connector also has the LNA DC power on the center conductor.
The input frequency range depends upon receive band options, either:
• Full 10.95 to 12.75 GHz band
• Individual
sub-band:
Š 10.95 to 11.7 GHz
Š 11.7 to 12.2 GHz
Š 12.25 to 12.75 GHz
