Figure 28: Antenna Relay Module Mounted on Peripheral Tray

2.3.11.2

Functional Operation

The antenna relay module contains a relay with a set of normally open and normally closed contacts. A

signal from the transceiver module controls the relay coil connected to the Receiver input port RX-A or

the PA deck to a single transmit/receive antenna.

NOTICE: With the relay de-energized, the antenna is connected to the Receiver input port RX-

A. To connect the antenna to the PA deck, the transceiver module must energize the relay.
