2.3 Interface Connectors
2.3.1 Connector ‘J1 | LBAND IN’ or ‘J1 | Tx IN’
The RF input connector is a Type ‘N’ female connector.
Labeled ‘J1 | LBAND IN’ on the LPOD PS 1 and PS 1.5 models
or ‘J1 | Tx IN’ on the LPOD PS 2 unit, typical input levels (-30
dBm) depend on desired output power and unit attenuation.
To prevent damage to the LPOD, 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 LPOD model and/or frequency range of the unit, as described in Table 2-1
and as shown in Figure 2-3, Figure 2-4, and Figure 2-5.
