Data Interface Options:

The 9400 AWY radio can transport a mixture of compressed Ethernet signals and T1’s. The Ethernet signals can be 10 Base-T or 100 Base-T. Up to 2 Ethernet signals can be transported. If a DS1 radio is used, from 0 to 16 T1’s can be allocated to Ethernet. If a DS3 radio is used, the radio will transport a DS3 signal, Ethernet data, or both.

The following table shows the data compression ratio for various radio capacities. A compression ratio of 1 indicates no compression.

Notes: (1) Maximum transmit power is listed, measured at the antenna port. Transmit powers can be reduced up to 30 dB in 1 dB steps. Guaranteed and typical transmit powers are the same.

(2) Receiver thresholds are typical values for a non-standby radio, measured at the antenna port. Guaranteed specifications are 1 dB worse.

(3) Dispersive fade margins are typical values. Guaranteed values are2 dB worse.

(4) The 4QAM-DS3 radios cannot be used with the 10 Base-T Ethernet interface in the 18 GHz and 23 GHz bands in the U.S. These radios do not meet the FCC spectrum efficiency requirement of 1 bit per Hertz. The 4QAM-8T1 radios may be used with 1 x 10 Base-T interfaces. The 4QAM-16T1 may be used with 2 x 10 Base-T interfaces. Any radio may be used with 100 Base-T interfaces.

Notes: (1) The other losses shown above are the additional losses at the transmitter and receiver compared to a non-standby radio. Losses include transmit and receive filter insertion losses, transmit switch losses, diplexer losses, and hot standby splitter losses. Losses are guaranteed values.

(2) The loss numbers for frequency diversity assume that the two transmitters are on the same antenna, on different polarizations. Alternatively, the two transmitters can be on the same polarization, on two different antennas. Two radios cannot be connected to the same antenna and polarization.

Notes: (1) All antennas are single polarized with plastic radomes.SB series are from RFS. VHLP series are Andrew.

(2) Minimum antenna size is 4 foot in the U.S. Federal Government 15 GHz band. The 1 and 2 foot antennas cannot be used.

(3) Minimum antenna size is 2 foot in the FCC 18 GHz band.

(4) Minimum antenna size is 1 foot in the FCC 23 GHz band.

(5) For antennas larger than 2 foot, waveguide is required to connect the antenna to the radio RF head.

Notes:

(1) Figure 1 defines six antenna configurations for transmitters and receivers. The minimum frequency separations for each configuration are shown above.

(2) All 9400 AWY radios use synthesizers to generate frequencies, instead of crystal oscillators. The transmit-to-receive frequency spacing must be equal to one of the options listed under Transmit-Receive Separation.

(3) Multiple transmitters and receivers cannot be stacked on the same antenna port (i.e., Configuration 1 is not allowed).

(4) The following assumptions were used to define the minimum frequency separations:

CONFIGURATIONS #2 and #5 - 30 dB of cross-pole isolation

CONFIGURATIONS #3 and #6 - 100 dB of antenna isolation(high performance antennas)
