Comparison between antenna-receiver connected by coaxial cable (blue trace) and PMM 9030 directly
connected to the antenna and linked to PMM 9010 by fiber optic cable (pink trace).
The example shows how PMM’s solution can prevent unwanted signals being picked up by the coaxial cable
along its path from the antenna to outside the chamber.
