1.8 Theory of Operation
The reciter receives RF signals from its RF input (antenna), and outputs this
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 (refer to
“Intermodule Communications” on page 34 for more details).
The Ethernet interface carries VoIP and also allows maintainer access via a
web browser.

A receive-only base station has a receiver instead of a reciter,
and does not have a PA.
