1-4.8 External Antenna
Some 5.8 GHz Link CX models use an external antenna to radiate and receive RF signals. The antenna
attaches to the Link CX via a factory-supplied cable. The following sections describe factory- and
customer-supplied external antennas.
Factory-Supplied
The following external antennas are offered for use with the Link CX:
• 61 cm (2 ft.) parabolic type
• 122 cm (4 ft.) parabolic type
Figure 1-5 shows a typical 61 cm external antenna with N-type connector cabled to the Link CX radio.
The antenna type should be selected according to local regulatory rules and system gain requirements.
For the available antenna models refer to Table 1-3. Complete antenna specifications are provided in
Appendix 2.
Customer-Supplied
The Link CX can be ordered with a coaxial cable to be connected to a customer-supplied external
antenna. In this case, refer to the external antenna user documentation for specifications and model
numbers.
