5.2 Uplink Channelised Cell Enhancer 50-060603 (5U chassis)
5.2.1 DC Tap Module (21-001701)
5.7.1 Description
DC taps are used where it is necessary to inject a DC source ‘through’ an RF signal path
so that equipment in a remote location may be sourced with DC power (where it may be
impractical to have mains power). Where used, it will always be that one DC tap module
is used at each ‘end’ of the DC source, one to supply the DC onto the RF signal, and one
to remove it at its ultimate destination. The modules are designed for minimum insertion
loss (and minimum DC volt-drop) at the operating frequency. They are purely passive
devices, and should need no maintenance over their operating lifetime.
All other modules in this shelf have been described in the downlink Cell Enhancer
section 5.1.
