Coaxial Cable - BasicsCoaxial cable moves (transmits RF
energy (power) from point “A” to point “B” with maximum efficiency (minimum loss)
Minimum loss = maximum power to the antenna for optimum coverage (footprint)
Tradeoffs - size, handling and cost versus minimum loss
Loss Calculator
12 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
Coax Cable Design - Electrical
Attenuation (Loss):
• Measure of efficiency
– The larger the cable, the lower the loss
– The lower the loss, the higher the efficiency
• Loss (dB) = 10 x log (Power In/Power Out)
– 3dB loss = 50% efficiency (PI/PO = 2/1)
– 0 dB (no loss) = 100% efficiency
• Cable loss is proportional to length & square root of frequency
13 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
Coax Cable Design - Electrical
VSWR (Return Loss):
• Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
• Electrical uniformity (ZO) versus frequency
• The lower the VSWR, the better 1.10:1 up to 1.30:1 is typical for LMR - 98% to 99.8% efficient
• Field measure of system “goodness”
• VSWR Calculator

Overview
50 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
Applications overviewLP-BTR-NDC blocked single transmitter design for 20 -1000MHz applications with surge side capacitor coupled. These designs are intended for non-combining applications. The RF power rating varies over the specified frequency range.
LP-STR/STRL-N/DDC blocked for isolation of antenna and equipment ports from 680 – 2.5GHz. A dc shorted surge side & capacitor coupled protected side minimize throughput energy. Will not pass dc voltage on the center pin.
LP-GTR-N/DDC pass designs for applications requiring voltage to be supplied to Tower Top mounted equipment. Selection of RF Power and DC Voltage is critical to ensure proper operation.

57 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
A typical Lightning Protector conducts lightning
surge current to ground while maintaining a low
voltage from center pin to shield/ground.
Resulting voltage between center conductor and
shield is the surge suppressor’s performance
measurement displayed by the LP-SPT
Displayed voltage should be compared with the
manufacturer’s specifications to determine status
of the protector. A list of Times Protector
breakdown voltages will be on the website
The LP-SPT Surge Protector TesterHow do I know if my Protector is good?
58 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
How it worksThe LP-SPT consists of a high voltage DC power supply providing a minimum output of 1kV at approximately 1mA. This output level provides enough Voltage to cause breakdown of the transient device to occur without over driving the device with excessive current.
LP-GPX-05 Protector Breakdown (typical) 6 Vdc
The LP-SPT has a 3.5 digit LCD that displays device under test (DUT) peak breakdown Voltage to a resolution of one Volt.
The test voltage is applied at a rise time rate equivalent to10kV/S, which is slow enough to facilitate valid testing of the device's rated “dc” breakdown voltage within the tolerances specified by the device manufacturer.
59 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
The LP-SPT - is a robust, simple to use, handheld test instrument.
Although the LCD is capable up displaying peak breakdown voltage of up to 2000V, the LP-SPT is limited to a 1000V output level.
Two type-N connectors (male and female) at the top of the LP-SPT provide direct connection of an RF LP device to the tester. A LED backlit “TEST” button facilitates operation and testing of the LP device.
60 / TMS Title or job number / 04/15/2023
• N-type Male and Female connectors provided for direct protector testing.
• Can test SP Components, e.g. MOV, Diodes, GT, from any SPD manufacturer with included test adaptor
• A list of Times Protector breakdown voltages will be posted on the website
