used to make necessary connections. Please review the following list;
1. SMA 50 ohm connectors with RG 223 cable should be used for linear and non-linear connections
between the modulator and the directional couplers located before and after the mask filter. A
similar set of cables should be used to connect the forward and reflected power sample for the
Modulators power meter.
