    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION 2.3.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The radio and ATU are factory-preset for proper tuning NOTE operation and require no additional adjustment or The installation instructions included in programming. the label on the unit cover apply to base station installation.
  • Page 14 Installation The suggested mobile installations are illustrated in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1. Suggested Mobile Installations 2.3.2.1.2 ATU Location Figure 2-2. Effective Installations The ATU should be mounted in a location, where the ATU output (antenna) connector is as close as possible to the antenna input connector.

    Installation NOTE 2.3.2.3 Cable Interconnections It is recommended to shorten the high Step 1. Route the RF cable between the ATU and the voltage cable as much as possible, radio. providing that the distance between the Step 2. Connect the RF coaxial cable to the ATU's RF antenna base and the ATU is short enough.

    Installation BASE STATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.4.1 ANTENNA INSTALLATION The recommended length of antennas for base stations is 23 to 60 feet for long wire antennas and 23 to 35 ft for whips, in the specified frequency range. Shorter antennas are recommended for mobile installations only.

    Installation 2.4.2 ANTENNA GROUND PLANE The ground plane shape for an Inverted "L" wire antenna should be distorted with most of the surface area placed under the antenna (see Figure 2-8). The 2.4.2.1 General sloping wire antenna should have a circular ground The ground plane provides an RF current return path plane shape with the antenna feed point at the center.

    Theory of Operation network by relay K113. C is most useful in the low 3.3.2.2 frequency range. The input capacitor network (C ) enables movement towards the Smith Chart center after crossing the G=1 3.3.2.5 circle. The function of the variable intermediate capacitor is made up of 26 capacitors (C169-C181, C183, (C111 through C117) is identical to that of C C185-C191, C196-C198, C201, C202) that can be...
