MTS Modules

Each MTS is comprised of a number of modules. Some of these modules in turn are comprised of
subcomponents. This section provides an overview of each of the available modules and their subcomponents.

RF Distribution System

The RF Distribution System (RFDS) module has the following subcomponents:

Preselector

The Preselector is a bandpass filter, which allows only the receiver signals to pass. For UHF, the filter's
bandwidth is 5 MHz, and it is designed to block transmitter frequencies as close as 5 MHz from its band edges.
For 800 MHz, the filter's bandwidth is 19 MHz. The Preselector incorporates a Receiver Multicoupler (RMC).

Duplexer

The Duplexer consists of two bandpass filters. One allows the transmitter signal to pass while the
other allows the receiver signal to pass. Both filters have a bandwidth of 5 MHz.
For UHF, the duplex spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is
10 MHz, with the transmitter frequency being higher. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between the lowest
possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency. For 800 MHz, the duplex spacing
between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is 45 MHz.
The Duplexer incorporates both an RMC and a Digital Power Meter (DPM).
