Notes: (1) Transmit powers are measured at the antenna port of theoutput circulator. Standard power is shown in bold type.
(2) Guaranteed and typical transmit powers are the same.All transmitters are solid state.
(3) Maximum received signal levels are typical values.Guaranteed values are 2 dB worse.
(4) Transmit powers for the MDR-8X02 are with the standarddiplexer filter. Transmit powers with the optional stacking filter are 0.8 dB lower.
(5) The Commpak version is smaller than the standard shelf and is only available for non-standby systems.

Notes:
(1) Feeder losses assume diplexer filters, 4 feet of foam coaxial cable to the top of the rack, and a coax to waveguide transition. For the 2 GHz band, the loss assumes a 4 foot jumper and foam coax to the antenna.
(2) Feeder losses assume diplexer filters, a 1 foot coax jumper, a coax to waveguide transition, rigid waveguide from the radio shelf to the top of the rack, and 3 feet of flexible waveguide connecting to the elliptical.
(3) Feeder losses assume diplexer filters, a 1 foot coax jumper, a coax to waveguide transition, and rigid waveguide from the radio shelf connecting directly to the elliptical waveguide. This loss is also applicable usinga 1 foot coax jumper and foam coax to the antenna (e.g., 5/8 inch foam coax in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band).
(4) Feeder losses assume diplexer filters inside a Commpak outdoor cabinet. This option is only available for non-standby radios.
(5) Feeder losses assume diplexer filters inside a full size outdoor cabinet, including jumper losses and connectors.
(6) Feeder losses assume stacking filters, rigid waveguide from the radio shelf to the top of the rack, and 3 feet of flex waveguide from the top of the rack to the elliptical waveguide run.

Branching losses include 0.2 dB for each circulator port pass and 0.1 dB for each filter pass.
Frequency diversity and multi-channel losses assume that the transmitter is at the top of the stack and the receiver is at the bottom of the stack.
Stacking filters are required for all frequency diversity and multi-channel configurations.
Multi-channel systems have multiple RF channels stacked on the same waveguide run. Hot standby equipment protection is used in multi-channel systems. Losses shown are for the worst case frequency plan in the Lower 6 GHz band (e.g., 3 channels on the vertical polarization and 0 channels on the horizontal polarization in a 3 RF channel system).

(1) Receiver thresholds and dispersive fade margins are typical values. Guaranteed values are 2 dB worse.
(2) These radios do not meet the spectrum efficiency rules of FCC Part 101. Can be used for U.S. Federal Government or international applications.
(3) Receiver thresholds are for the standard diplexer filters. These filters are designed for the Canadian 2 GHz band from 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2285 MHz. Radios using the standard filters are named MDR-8000-xx. Radios using the optional stacking filters are named MDR-8000-xxS. Receiver thresholds with the stacking filters are 0.7 dB worse. Stacking filters should be used in the U.S. Federal Government band from 2200-2290 MHz.
(4) This radio is used in the 5725-5850 MHz unlicensed band under FCC Part 15.
(5) The MDR-8506-90V is only available in the FCC Part 74 Broadcast Auxiliary Band from 6875-7125 MHz.

(1) Receiver thresholds and dispersive fade margins are typical values. Guaranteed values are 2 dB worse.
(2) These radios cannot be used in the U.S. The maximum channel bandwidth in the FCC 10.55-10.68 GHz band is 5 MHz. These radios also require separate transmit and receive antennas.
(3) These radios use the standard diplexer filters. The diplexer filters were designed for the Canadian 2 GHz band from 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2285 MHz.
(4) The MDR-8602-45S radio uses the stacking filter option. This option allows a 45 MHz transmit-to-receive frequency separation.
(5) This radio is used in the 5725-5850 MHz unlicensed band under FCC Part 15.
(6) The MDR-8606-45V is only available in the FCC Part 74 BroadcastAuxiliary Band from 6875 to 7125 MHz.
(7) Radios in the 8 GHz band are available using standard filters, discrete filters, stacking filters, and narrow filters. Radios using standard filters are named MDR-8000-xxx. Radios using discrete filters are named MDR-8000-xxxD. Radios using stacking filters are named MDR-8000-xxxS. Radios using narrow filters are named MDR-8000-xxxN. The different filter options have different specs for transmit-to-transmit and transmit-to-receive frequency separation. Narrow filters are designed to allow 40 MHz
transmit-to-transmit frequency separation in the Canadian 8 GHz band. Receiver threshold and dispersive fade margin specifications are the same for all filter options
(8) The MDR-8606-45N and MDR-8610-45N use the narrow filter from the low capacity DS1 radios. These radios are easier to frequency coordinate, but cannot be upgraded to 2 or 3 DS3.

MDR-8000 Radio Specifications (continued) 6/17/04
Notes:
(1) Figure 1 defines six antenna configurations for transmitters and receivers. The minimum frequency separations for each configuration are shown in the table above.
(2) Configurations 1a and 4a use diplexer filters (without circulators). Configurations 1b and 4b use stacking filters (with circulators). Configuration 1a is not allowed.
(3) Diplexer filters should be used if a single transmitter and receiver are required. Stacking filters should be used if multiple transmitters and receivers are to be stacked on the same waveguide run. Diplexer filters are less expensive than stacking filters and are the standard option.
(4) For the configurations marked with an asterisk(*), the transmit local oscillator generates tones that may affect a receiver. The source filter option should be used if the transmit-to-receive frequency separation is less than the following:
Radio TypeFrequency Band
(GHz)Transmit-to-Receive Frequency Separation
MDR-8506-xxMDR-8706-xx 5.925 – 6.425 146 MHz
MDR-8506-xxMDR-8706-xx 6.425 – 7.125 123 MHz
MDR-8511-xxMDR-8711-xx 10.7 – 11.7 160 MHz
(6) Custom filters can be designed, if the minimum transmit-to-receive frequency separations cannot be met. R&D must evaluate the filter requirements in each case. Custom filters will add to the cost and delivery time.
(7) These radios use stacking filters. Stacking filters should be used in the U.S. Federal Government band from 2200-2290 MHz. Stacking filters are available for the full frequency range from 2025-2290 MHz.
(8) These radios use the standard diplexer filters. The standard diplexer filters were designed for the Canadian band from 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2285 MHz. Optional diplexer filters are also available for the 2103-2303 MHz band using the frequency plan from ITU-R Recommendation F.283-5. This plan has a 119 MHz transmit-to-receive frequency separation.
(9) Standard, discrete, stacking, and narrow filters are available in the 8 GHz band. The discrete filters have the smallest transmit-to-receive frequency separation. The stacking filters are used to stack multiple DS3 or OC3 radios. The narrow filters allow a 40 MHz transmit-to-transmit frequency separation in the Canadian 8 GHz band. Standard filters have diplexer and circulator combining options. Discrete, stacking, and narrow filters only have circulator combining.
(10) Filters are available in the Canadian LL6 GHz band from 5850-5915 MHz, allowing 33.5 MHz transmit-to-receive frequency separation. Filters are also available for the FCC emergency restoration channels in the U.S.Upper 6 GHz band from 6525-6875 GHz (6535 and 6575 MHz).
(11) The following assumptions were used to define the minimum frequency separations:
CONFIGURATIONS #1 and #4 - 20 dB of circulator isolation CONFIGURATIONS #2 and #5 - 30 dB of cross pole isolation
CONFIGURATIONS #3 and #6 – 100 dB of antenna isolation(high performance antennas)

Notes:
(1) The drawing shows the 5 MHz and 10 MHz bandwidth channels used by the MDR-8X05u radio. Gray channels are designated “G”. Blue channels are designated “B”. Transmit and receive channels have a 65 MHz frequency separation.
(2) The 5 MHz channels are used by the MDR-8505u-2, MDR-8505u-4, and MDR-8505u-8 radios (2, 4, and 8 DS1 capacity).
(3) The 10 MHz channels are used by the MDR-8505u-16 and MDR-8605u-45 radios (16 DS1 and 1 DS3 capacity).
(4) The channel plan allows any radio to grow to 1 DS3 without a frequency change.
(5) RF filters are centered on channels G3, B3, G3’, and B3’.
Frequency Diversity in the Unlicensed Band
To obtain the required frequency separation, frequency diversity systems may only use Channels G1, B1, G5’, and B5’. Channels G1 and B5’ use the standard diplexer filters, connected by a circulator. Channels B1 and G5’ require custom filters.
