Compact GNSS Optical Repeater Receiver – Quad RF Outputs
The Compact GNSS Optical Repeater Receiver – Quad RF Outputs creates a four-branch indoor GNSS re-radiation network from a single fiber-fed receiver. One optical input is converted into four RF transmit paths for compatible GNSS-array antennas, supporting facilities that require several antenna positions from one centralized module. Adjustable RF gain provides in-room signal-level control across the deployed re-radiation architecture.

This four-output configuration turns the indoor end of the optical GNSS link into a centralized RF distribution point. After optical-to-RF conversion, the recovered GNSS signal is presented through four SMA outputs, enabling several compatible GNSS-array antennas to be positioned around the facility from the same receiver location. The architecture is intended for multiple rooms, work areas, or separated indoor spaces that require GNSS re-radiation, layouts where one transmit antenna is insufficient. Using four RF branches from one compact module maintains centralized optical transport while providing flexibility on the RF side of the installation. Variable gain supports commissioning of the recovered signal level. The 6km fiber capability places the indoor distribution point far enough away from the remote signal acquisition location. The receiver forms part of Optical GNSS Repeater and Distribution Systems, with compatible transmit points available through GNSS Antennas.
