Setting the RF Mode
There are three different RF modes as shown in the picture below:
Figure 12 — Setting the RF Mode
1) Normal
This is the default RF mode to obtain all specifications as given in “Technical Specifications.” It is the recommended
mode of operation; for very special applications, however, there are two further modes of operation available:
2) Low noise
By selecting this mode the transmitter’s noise performance is improved by increasing the gain of the input RF amplifier
stage and decreasing the gain of the output RF amplifier stage. In this mode, the intermodulation performance will suf-
fer slightly.
3) Low distortion
By selecting this mode, the optimum intermodulation performance will be obtained by slightly degrading the noise per-
formance.
