2.3 Interface Connectors
2.3.1 Connector ‘J1 | L-BAND IN’ or ‘J1 | Tx IN’
The RF input connector is a Type ‘N’ female connector, labeled
‘J1 | LBAND IN’ on the SPOD PS 1 and PS 1.5 units, or ‘J1 | Tx
IN’ on the SPOD PS 2 unit. Typical input levels (-30 dBm)
depend on desired output power and unit attenuation. To
prevent damage to the SPOD, RF input levels should not
exceed +15 dBm.
2.3.2 Connector ‘J2 | RF OUT’
WARNING! FOR SAFETY REASONS, NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE WAVEGUIDE
OUTPUT.
The ‘J2 | RF OUT’ connector may be a waveguide or coaxial interface – the type of interface
used depends on the SPOD unit and/or frequency range of the unit, as described in Table 2-1
and as shown in Figure 2-3, Figure 2-4, or Figure 2-5.
