1-4.7 Integral Antenna
The integral antenna is a 30 cm x 30 cm (12 in. x 12 in.) flat-panel antenna mounted directly on the
5.3 GHz or 5.8 GHz Link CX radio chassis, as shown in Figure 1-4. All RF connections between the
integral antenna and the Link CX radio are made internally, eliminating the need for external coaxial
cabling. Because the integral antenna is sealed onto the Link CX chassis, the Link CX and integral
antenna are mounted as a unit, and share the same environmental protection. An arrow on the
connector side of the Link CX chassis indicates the antenna polarization (either vertical or horizontal).
