The system consists of two connectors, a chassis receptacle and an in-line cable connector with locking mechanism.
Lectrosonics' WA520 wireless antenna covers the entire UHF range between 450 and 850 MHz and consists of a directional component and an omni-directional whip element for re-transmission to the receiver. The two components are coupled via a 50-Ohm matching circuit. The WA520 operates by providing up to 7 dB of isotropic gain via the LPDA in the forward direction in order to overcome the inherent loss incurred by re-transmission via the whip component. The resulting RF field signal strength is +0 dBi or unity gain.
