Beam Iridium RST740 Installation Manual

Introduction
The RST740 antenna is designed for Iridium applications where
long RF cables are needed and a passive antenna cannot
be used. The RST740 has an integrated power amplifier (for
transmitting signals to the satellite) and low noise amplifier
(for receiving signals from the satellite) incorporated into the
antenna.
