Wideband Communications between the RDA and RPG -
Direct Wire Link

This type of wideband link is used when the distance between the Radar Data Acquisition Unit (RDA) and Radar Product Generator (RPG) is less than 400 feet. The most common WSR-88D configuration for this link is when the RPG is located in the RDA shelter. All Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sites use this type of connectivity.
