2.5 System Description
The overall digital radio architecture consists of a single 2RU rack mount Indoor Unit (IDU) with a
cable connecting to an Outdoor Unit (ODU) with an integrated antenna. There is an option for
interfacing the ODU with an external antenna (consult factory for this option). This IDU/ODU
architecture is advantageous when compared to a single IDU with external mount antenna since
supporting a signal of 5.8 GHz from the IDU rack to the antenna will experience significant signal
degradation requiring expensive coaxial cable or waveguide.
