Foxcom's Sat-Light C-Band fibreoptic interfacility links transmit and receive uplink and downlink signals in the 3.4 to 6.8 GHz range between antennas and control rooms or NOCs. Foxcom's IFLs offer a high performance alternative to conventional coaxial-cabled systems, reducing the need for waveguide and minimizing signal attenuation.
The Sat-Light IFLs function as a transparent link, transmitting all satellite modulation formats carrying an entire polarization on each link. System limitations in using coaxial cable are overcome by the simplicity and performance of fibreoptic connections to provide the highest levels in signal quality. Foxcom achieves this by using state of the art lasers to provide these high efficiency, low noise analog links.
A typical C-Band link consists of an optical transmitter, which receives the RF signal, transmitting it over single mode fibre to an optical receiver which reconverts the optical signal to RF.
Foxcom's advanced fibreoptic technology reduces the attenuation, slope, phase shift, and group delay, maintaining extremely low levels over distances of up to 15 kilometers. The C-Band's link state of the art lasers produce negligible chirp and optical distortion; critical for long distance links. The links are provided with test ports, status and fault LEDs, and gain controls. |
