Leveling Adapter
The front panel RF connectors provide
access to the DL and UL RF signals that
would be input to the OTRx.
Input signal levels can be adjusted prior to
the OTRx and measured through the
leveling adapter.
The leveling adapter is used in place of the
OTRx to aid in leveling the downlink path.
The front panel interface connectors are
SMA-Female.
