L-Band PL7240T/PL7240R Fiber Optical Link

Foxcom’s Platinum L-Band products are designed to meet the increasing demand for modularity and high performance in a small form factor for superior long-distance transmission. The link performs at full capability within a 4dB optical budget. High RF input power and wide dynamic range make the link suitable for both Uplink and Downlink applications.

Utilizing Global Foxcom’s DigiRF technology, the user has full control of all important functions for setup, operation, and analysis via the front panel LCD or via the associated sub-rack SNMP capability.

In addition IMizer, an automated adjustable link calibration embedded system enables the user to align the RF links IMD/CNR to specific linearity performances without a two-tone test. Select the desired IMD for the optical transmitter, either locally or remotely, IMizer automatically adjusts the laser drive to meet the IMD requirements.

Each low profile individual transmitter or receiver can be “hot swapped” in the sub-rack chassis maintaining a best subsystem uptime capability. Each module contains an individual processor to maximize specification performance at all times under demanding user applications.

The Platinum transmitter and receiver are designed for sub-rack chassis mounting. The associated Platinum chassis has 12 active slots, one main control processor (MCP) slot and two redundant power supplies. No fans are required even under full sub-rack loading and full LNB powering.

Typical L-Band Up and Down Link

Figure4:Typical L-Band System

Figure 4 represents a typical L-band up and downlink within a teleport. The system is comprised of 2 setsof 19” 3RU indoor chassis (PL7010) with dual power supplies and an MCP Card.

The downlink consists of a pair of PL7240T transmitters at the antenna site receiving two L-band signalsfrom the LNB, and a pair of PL7240R4 receivers at the indoor site.

The uplink represents one redundant link.A single L-band signal is split at the output of the modemfeeding into a pair of PL7240T optical transmitters at the indoor site. A pair of PL7240R receivers at theantenna site converts the optical signals back into RF and feed into a 1:1 RF switch.
