Antennas and couplers
This section describes the PTP 800 antennas, couplers and remote mounting kit.
Antennas
A typical antenna is shown in Figure 17.

Antenna diameter
In each band, the antennas are provided in a number of diameters, the larger the
diameter, the greater the gain.
Antenna interface
There are two types of antennas providing different interfaces to the RFU:
• Direct mount interface: The ODU mounts directly to the back of the antenna (Figure
18) and is secured using the integral spring loaded latches (Figure 19). Direct mount
antennas are not installed with IRFUs.
• Waveguide interface: The antenna connects to the RFU via a waveguide (Figure 20).
The RFU (ODU or IRFU) is mounted separately from the antenna.
