Basic Details
The GL7430 Wideband Optical Link uses a high dynamic range optical transmitter to convert incoming RF signals into optical signals, which are then reconverted back to RF by the optical receiver. The link accommodates digital and analog satellite modulation schemes, while direct modulation of the laser diode helps achieve low phase performance. Global Foxcom’s high dynamic range DFB laser delivers strong signal quality for demanding satellite and wireless requirements, and the Sat-Light Gold Series also supports L-Band, 70/140 MHz IF, Wideband, 10 MHz Reference, redundancy, M&C, SNMP, Ethernet, and serial data communication.
