2.4.1 RF Connection
The RF port of the Lynx radio is an N-type female connector that is an integral part of the filter
assembly. The filter assembly occupies nearly the entire top half of the rear panel. The N-Type
connector is used to connect the antenna, typically using coaxial transmission line. In some cases,
waveguide may be used as the primary transmission line, in which case a waveguide-to-N adapter
is required.
For the Lynx, 1/2" or 5/8” coaxial cable (LDF4-50 or LDF4.5-50)
is recommended. Coaxial cable that is 7/8” or larger can exhibit
moding at 5.8 GHz and is not recommended for 5.8 GHz radios.
For waveguide transmission line at 5.8 GHz, EW-52 waveguide
is recommended. EW-63 will also work, but may exhibit more
loss.
