Power requirements
The DC power requirements for the ApexPro antenna system depend greatly on the
configuration of each individual system. To ease the power requirements of the
ApexPro telemetry system, the power supply for the antenna system is external to the
ApexPro receiver system and separate from the antenna.
Interface with ApexPro receiver subsystem
Each receiver in the quad receiver module, located in the receiver subsystem, receives
data from the transmitters. This data is processed by the receiver system and then
transmitted via the dedicated Ethernet interface to a CIC Pro center for further
processing and display. The quad receivers and the receiver subsystem together are
known as the receiver system.
The interface between the antennas and the receiver system consists of coaxial
cabling and connectors for transferring the transmitted signal. The interface uses 75-
ohm cable from each antenna field and F style 75-ohm connectors as a connection
medium. The preferred cable is RG-6, but for longer lengths RG-11 may be used.
Interface with multiple ApexPro receiver subsystems
To interface the antenna system with multiple ApexPro receiver systems, each
antenna field in the antenna system is split into the appropriate number of tap points
using combiners/splitters before connecting to each ApexPro receiver system.
