2.4 The WiNRADiO PCIe Bracket Multi-SMA Adapter
The WiNRADiO ‘PCIe Bracket Multi-SMA Adapter’ consists of eight SMA to SMA connector
adapters mounted on a standard PCI bracket. It is designed to be installed into a standard
PCIe card position slot inside a PC chassis. Its purpose is to provide SMA connection between
the interior and exterior of a PC chassis for eight coherent sampling clock signals from the
Coherent clock generator board (described in Section 2.2.1) in the ETC configuration.
In ETC configuration, this multi-SMA adapter is installed in the same PC chassis as the
Coherent clock generator board, into a PCI/PCIe position next to it. It is connected to eight
sampling clock outputs of the Coherent clock generator board using eight SMA patch cables
of the Clock Kit (see the Section 2.2.9). This way, the Coherent clock signals generated by
the Coherent clock generator are carried out of the PC chassis, so the sampling clock can be
distributed to coherent receivers externally, outside of the PC, using the CLOCK SMA coaxial
cables for external connections of sampling clock described in Section 2.3.4.
