GTH TX/RX Loopback Connections
Refer to Figure 1-2, page 9
four receivers (RX0, RX1, RX2 and RX3) and the four transmitters (TX0, TX1, TX2 and TX3).
Use eight SMA female-to-female (F-F) adapters
receive cables as shown in
• TX0_P → SMA F-F Adapter → RX0_P
• TX0_N → SMA F-F Adapter → RX0_N
• TX1_P → SMA F-F Adapter → RX1_P
• TX1_N → SMA F-F Adapter → RX1_N
• TX2_P → SMA F-F Adapter → RX2_P
• TX2_N → SMA F-F Adapter → RX2_N
• TX3_P → SMA F-F Adapter → RX3_P
• TX3_N → SMA F-F Adapter → RX3_N
To ensure good connectivity, it is recommended that the adapters be secured with a wrench;
Note:
however, do not over tighten the SMAs.
