Page 7: Features
PICO MACOM The PFT offer both manual RF gain control (MGC) and automatic RF gain control (AGC) modes. Users are alerted to the mode which has been selected by two LEDs that indicate either AGC mode or MGC mode is active. For most RF signals, users may select AGC mode to control variations in the RF signal over time and maintain consis- tent modulation of the RF signal onto the optical carrier. -

Page 15: Chapter 4 Input Level Versus Channel Loading
PICO MACOM Input Level versus Channel Loading The PFT Transmitters are designed to properly modulate the light output with a specified number of 6 MHz. channels. The PFT-x Specifications shows unit operation with 78 NTSC channels at 15 dBmV input level each, plus 300 MHz of QAM channels at –6 dB (9 dBmV) input level. If the number of higher level NTSC signals is reduced, the input levels may be increased to provide the same laser drive level and end-to-end performance. -
