Couplers Use N-Male to N-Female broadband coupler separately ordered from Corning (P/N AK-1COUPLER-
NM-NF) or the equivalent:
Broadband frequency: 698 2700 MHz
-40 dB coupling (QMA coupling port)
Max. VSWR/Return Loss: 5:1 / 16 dB
Max. Insertion Loss (dB): 0.2
Impedance: 50 ohms
2.6.2 General Antenna Installation Guidelines
The wideband antenna should be installed at a convenient location, free of metallic obstruction (can also be
installed in plenum spaces).
Install the connected antenna at the designated height and tune it roughly toward the Service coverage area.
Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide the separation distance as specified in
the FCC grant from all persons during normal operation and must not be co-located with any other antenna for
meeting RF exposure requirements
2.7 Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded (refer to the grounding lug on the bottom right corner of the HX 2.5
GHz TDD front panel). This includes antennas and all cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for
the antennas is properly grounded. Also, see section
3.3.3.
2.8 Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the
installation personnel and the equipment.
2.9 Installation Requirements
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure unrestricted
airflow.
Ensure grounding connector is within reach of the ground wire.
Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.
Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.
Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.
Ensure the equipment will be operated within the stated environment (Appendix A: System Specifications).
Where appropriate, confirm available of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber.
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.
