  • Page 9: Product Introduction

    The Chromadigm CHS/CHQ transmitter is a full 1002 MHz RF spectrum transmitter with four ITU DWDM lasers multiplexed onto a single optical output port in a 1RU chassis. The CHS/CHQ incorporates ATX’s Chromadigm chirp cancellation and clipping mitigation technology, significantly advancing the performance of analog optical DWDM systems. The technology allows up to 44 consecutive, 100 GHz spaced ITU channels, while delivering exceptional MER and error-free, pre-FEC BER performance.

    CHAPTER 4: MODULE SET-UP MODULE SET-UP Module Set-up Setting RF Input Levels The RF signals that are common to each of the four ITU lasers are connected to the BC input port. The common RF loading into the BC RF input port should occupy the RF spectrum up to approximately 270 MHz to avoid SRS crosstalk degradation. The Narrowcast (NC) signal for each individual ITU laser transmitter is connected to the corresponding laser transmitter input port.
