A1-2 Equipment Description
Each combiner kit consists of the following components:
• modified antenna bracket
• hybrid combiner (either for 900MHz operation or 1800MHz operation)
• 50 ohm terminator
• N-type connector
• combiner clamping bracket
• 2 modified SMA cables
The combiner kit may be either factory installed or installed in the field. The access to the combiner kit is at the Type-
N female adapter located on the top of the antenna bracket. The 50-ohm terminator is located at the adjacent
connector, and must be in place for proper operation.
