Rf Section - Aeroflex Weinschel 8310 Operation & Service Manual

Model 8310
6-4. RF SECTION: Most Standard 8310 Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through
either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B connector (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear) to a single or
multiple Weinschel programmable attenuators (3200T, 150T, or 4200 Series) thus creating CH1 (Channel 1). Note
that when a Port is in use the Port indicator will be illuminated. Dual channel units typically use Ports A and B for CH1
and Ports C and D for CH2 (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear for CH1 and Ports B-B for CH2). Multi-channel
(3-4) units are generally routed front to rear and configured as follows:
CH1 Port A (Front) to Port A (Rear)
CH2 Port B (Front) to Port B (Rear)
CH3 Port C (Front) to Port C (Rear)
CH4 Port D (Front) to Port D (Rear)
For specialized configurations refer to supplemental information
in the front of this manual for details.
Typically Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators are bi-directional and the RF signal can be applied
to either Port connector. Refer to the individual data sheets located in the Appendix C for detailed and specific
specifications pertaining to the internal mounted attenuators. Refer to the replaceable parts list for actual
programmable attenuator part/model number.
Special configurations exist where the RF section is designed to specific customer requirements which can
contain signal programmable attenuators with custom attenuation ranges and step sizes to multiple programmables
used in conjunction with other coaxial devices such as switches, power combiners, directional couplers, and filters
creating single or multi-channel subsystems. All specialized 8310 series units will contain a supplement located in the
front of this manual that outlines detailed configuration, operation and parts list for these Attenuator Units.
