Antenna Connection Overview
The SSU-2000 chassis has two antenna connections located on the rear panel. The
antenna connections are made via isolated TNC connectors J6 and J7, labeled
ANTENNA-A and ANTENNA-B, respectively. The connectors are DC isolated and
AC bypassed to frame ground. These connections are used for radio receiver
antenna connections only. The antenna connections (J6 and J7) are connected via
the backplane to module slots 3 and 5. When installing GPS antennas, the installed
modules must correspond to these connections (for instance, slot 3 to ANTENNA-A
and Slot 5 to ANTENNA-B). Installation procedures for GPS antennas are outlined
below.
