L-Band RF Analog Fiber Optic Transmitter
The MP-2310TX is a RF/Fiber Optic Transmitter that is designed to provide electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion of broadband RF signals over a frequency range of 800 MHz to 2250 MHz.
The utilization of the MP-2310TX, in conjunction with the appropriate MP-2320RX RF/Fiber Optic Receiver, forms a broadband link capable of supporting the transmission of RF signals over singlemode optical fiber for use in a wide array of communication applications. The link applications include antenna remoting, time and frequency reference distribution, RF delay lines, telemetry tracking, and point-to-point RF transmission.
The transmitter utilizes a low noise, high dynamic range Fabry-Perot (FP) laser with integrated temperature stability control. The transmitter operates over link distances up to 20 km. For distances up to 80 km, refer to the MP-2330TX Long Haul L-Band RF/Fiber Optic Transmitter. The unit provides the user with status monitoring through the use of an onboard processor that communicates to a host computer over an RS-232 I/O interface. The I/O parameters include laser bias current, temperature and alarm status. In addition, an optional built in Bias-T for Low Noise Block (LNB) powering may be specified.
