MS27103A Overview
The MS27103A is a multi-port RF In monitoring platform employed in systems requiring multiple antennas to cover a large frequency range. This monitor is often used with cellular infrastructure equipment with multiple sectors and multiple frequencies per sector.
The standard MS27103A Remote Spectrum Monitor requires a user supplied DC power supply with voltage rating of ±20 VDC to ±70 VDC with minimum power output of 11 W. Option 110 replaces the DC connector screw terminal with an internal AC-DC supply with a 3-pin line receptacle.
The MS27103A remote spectrum monitor module is configured with integral front panel handle and rack mounting bracket that allows it to be mounted into a standard 48 cm equipment rack.
