2) Preventing the connecttng portion from becoming detahed due to
vibration
• Keep the connecting portion between the coaxial cable and the flexible
waveguide and the scanner's chassis, and provide supporting members, as
shown in Fig 2-12 and Fig 2-13, to prevent the connecting portion from
becoming detached due to vibration.
• The distance from the connecting portion and the supporting member should
be 400 millimeters for the S-band and 300 millimeters for X-band.
• If the distance from the connecting portion and the supporting member is
longer than the above distance, vibration may cause metal fatigue, resulting in
the occurrence of malfunction even if the connecting portion is not removed.
