Output Transformer Selection
The 1:1.265 ratio output transformer is recommended for
the XR-T5794 because this ratio gives the best possible
transmitter output return loss for 120Ω balanced E1
service. However, other transformers may provide an
adequate return loss for many applications. The two
characteristics that determine series build-out resistor
requirements are:
D Driver output impedance is less than 5Ω.
D Vs, which is the driver open circuit output voltage, is
4.5V peak.
The following method may be used to determine
transformer suitability for a given use.
