1-4 Link CX Basic Structure
1-4.1 Radio Links
Each radio link includes two Link CX terminals. Each terminal consists of a Link CX radio with an integral
flat-panel antenna, or a Link CX radio with an external antenna (see Figure 1-1). Generally, the Link CX
terminals are mounted outdoors on a tower or building.
1-4.2 Data Stream
The DS-3 or Ethernet data signals enter the Link CX, and are modulated into the RF data stream. The RF
radio signal radiates from the local antenna and propagates to the remote antenna. At the remote
terminal, the received signal is demodulated and demultiplexed, separating the payload data and the
overhead management data.
1-4.3 Link CX Models
The Link CX is manufactured in many configurations:
• Versions with DS-3 or Ethernet carried over 5.3 GHz or 5.8 GHz links.
• Each version available with either an integral 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in.) antenna, or with an
N-type connector for a factory-supplied 61 cm (2 ft.) or 122 cm (4 ft.) external antenna, or
an N-type connector for a customer-supplied external antenna.
Link CX models are described in Table 1-1.
