SPECIFICATIONS
RF Carrier Frequency Range
554–584 MHz
Working Range
U1, U2: 152.4 m, minimum, under typical conditions; 487.6 m line of sight
NOTE: Actual working range depends on RF signal absorption, reflection and
interference
Audio Frequency Response
50 to 15,000 Hz, ±2 dB. NOTE: Overall system frequency response depends on the
microphone element

U2: 0 to 26 dB
Modulation
±45 kHz deviation compressor-expander system with pre-and de-emphasis
RF Power Output
U1, U2: 30 mW maximum
Dynamic Range
>110 dB, A-weighted
RF Sensitivity (Typical)
U4S U4D
–1 10 dBm
12 dB SINAD
–105 dBm
30 dB SINAD
Image Rejection
100 dB typical
Spurious Rejection

Audio Polarity
Positive pressure on microphone diaphragm (or positive voltage applied to tip of WA302
phone plug) produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of low
impedance output and the tip of the high impedance 1/4-inch output
System Distort ion (ref. ±45 kHz deviation, 1 kHz modulation)
<0.3% Total Harmonic Distortion typical
