1.7 Theory of Operation
The reciter receives RF signals from its RF input and sends RF from its RF
output to the PA, along with a PA key signal. The PA sends an RF feedback
signal to the reciter for linearization and power control purposes. The
reciter also receives signals from, and sends signals to, the system
interface, the Ethernet interface, and the front panel (see Figure 1.4).
A system control bus interconnects the modules and carries alarm and
control signaling between the reciter and the other modules.
The Ethernet interface carries voice over IP and also allows maintainer
access via a web browser.
