7310 Installation and User's Guide
2. Introduction to the 7310 IFL
The Sat Light™ 7310 broadband (10 - 2200 MHz) fiber optic link is designed for a
wide range of antenna remoting applications, wireless or satellite. The 7310
operates over singlemode fiber covering distances of up to 2 kilometers away
while preserving excellent signal quality. The 7310 consists of an optical
transmitter (7310T) which receives the RF signal and an optical receiver (7310R)
which connects to a demodulator or satellite receiver.
The 7310T and 7310R modules plug into the 7180M, a 3U chassis/power supply
that enables expansion of the system to accommodate any eight Sat-Light
modules. Accessories include the Model 7001P Standby Power Supply, the Model
2000 1:1 Redundant Switch, the Model 2100 Amplifier, and the Model 7050 Serial
Data Multiplexer, an asynchronous data link.
The 7310 is a broadband transmission link; all standard satellite modulation
formats can be transmitted (i.e. QPSK, FM, etc.). The 7310 can be used in a wide
variety of applications: cellular, PCS, MMDS, GPS, VSAT, CATV, Earth
Stations, Broadcast, Radar, and others. The RF signal is directly modulated and
adds virtually no phase noise to the original signal. The direct modulation,
coupled with the 7310 Links RF circuitry, guarantees superior signal quality. The
7310 is capable of more than 35 dB carrier to noise performance in a full band or
single carrier environment.
At the receiver site MGC maintains the RF level regardless of optical power or
distance from the transmission site. Front panel LEDs and back panel monitors
and alarms allow for complete system status monitoring and for interfacing with
M & C systems.
2.1 Options
The 7310 IFL comes with a variety of options:
75 Ω/F type or 50 Ω SMA RF connector; standard impedance is 50 Ω
1.
Input-Output Impedance/BNC, female connectors are standard.
2.
Extended frequency - 10 to 2500 MHz; the standard bandwidth is
10 - 2150 MHz.
3.
Standalone unit; the 7310 IFL can be installed as a standalone unit. If
the 7310 is used as a standalone, a separate power supply must be used.
