Transmit cabling

In the transmit path, the output of each Transmit Receive Unit (TRU) is connected to the input of each corresponding power amplifier (PA) on the Dual Power Amplifier (DPA) module. The output of each power amplifier (PA) is input to an 8-channel AutoTune Combiner (ATC).

The output of the ATC is connected to the Transmit (TX) port of the duplexer. For RF Frames using more than one ATC, the outputs of the ATCs are combined together and connected to the TX port of the duplexer. The duplexer serves as the interface between the antenna system and the RF frame. Table 3-1 lists the connection between the PAs and the ATC for an RF Frame with up to 20 channels. Table 3-2 lists the connection between the PAs and the ATC for an RF Frame with 21 channels or more.
