RF Distribution box
The box resides in the LSC rack. It gets the demodulation signals from the frequency generation box and splits it into several outputs so that it can be used by the demodulation boards. The box also generates frequency multiples as 3xf1, 3xf2, 2xf1 and 2xf2 demod signals.

Some Thoughts in Early Days
40m Upgrade RF Distribution Box
This box will serve to split the RF signal coming from the RF Modulation Generator into the signals to be fed to the demod boards.
- It will distribute both 11 and 55 MHz frequencies. It will also provide the 3f demod signals.
- The box will contain 2 8-way power splitters, 2 frequency triplers, 2 2-way power splitters.
- The box will have to be powered.
Plans
RF Distribution
- 1. Construction of Frequency Distribution Box
- exactly the same as for the frequency generation box
- 1. Demod board filter upgrade: installation of surface mount low pass/high pass filter
- 1. LSC rack routing
