L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter and Receiver
The L-Band Transmitter and Receiver pair are used for transporting L-Band signals over a single fiber strand from the antenna to the satellite receiver. Applications include GPS over Fiber.
- General Details
The L-Band Transmitter and Receiver pair are used for transporting discrete L-Band paths over a single strand of fiber from the antenna to the satellite receivers. L-band RF signals have a very limited range over coaxial cable, typically no more than a few hundred feet. By transporting the L-Band over fiber this range can be extended from several hundred feet to over 25 miles. Transmitters provide optional 13/18V LNB power as well as Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to manage RF input level. Fiber optic transport of satellite signals is useful in many applications, such as transportation of signals from a remote satellite farm to a broadcaster or cable company’s Headend, uplink and downlink applications, DBS services, and GPS over Fiber.
