ADIO REQUENCY
The radio frequency converter or RFC (ADTRAN part number
1280.005L1) provides the RF interface between the BBP and the
antenna.
The RFC module is illustrated in the figure below.
The RFC is partitioned, functionally, into two major components
-- the transmitter and the receiver. It is partitioned physically into
three printed circuit boards.
The major connections illustrated are the transmit signal, receive
signal, and the IF signal connection.
The three SMA connectors located on the RFC module provide
the transmitted RF , received RF , and IF connection points. Two
test points are provided for monitoring the received signal strength
indicator or RSSI. The voltage (relative to the GND test point)
present on this test point represents the level of the received signal.
