  • Page 9: Chapter 1. Overview

    General Information The Peninsula Engineering Solutions’ RF-6000E Microwave RF Repeater, hereafter referred to as the RF-6000E (or the repeater), is a linear, bi-directional, on-frequency RF repeater for microwave point-to-point networks. The RF-6000E may be used with any manufacturer's compatible 6-GHz radio operating in the 5.9-7.1 GHz frequency range to provide an intermediate repeater.
  • Page 10: Functional Description

    Functional Description 1. The RF-6000E assembly is an RF through repeater designed for remote locations. Little alignment is required, and the use of highly reliable components and minimum active circuitry eliminates most subsequent maintenance. The repeater assembly consists of an equipment mounting panel, contained in an aluminum;...
  • Page 11: Amplifiers

    Power Supply 12. The only active element in each frequency channel of the RF-6000E assembly is the amplifier which operates from a +11~16.5 VDC source. Current requirements are 1.95 Amperes maximum for higher power Level 2 amplifiers. Solar Rated power consumption accounts for lower current demands under normal conditions.
