Optical Node GWS862H2J(F)-K
|
Brief Introduction
The most noticeable feature of GWS862H2J-K / GWS862H2F-K is the optical AGC function. Under AGC working mode, the AGC circuit senses input optical power and keeps output RF level constant when input optical power varies within -5~+2dBm.
Another unique feature is the Attenuation Control Board which works under MGC mode. The Board provides attenuation choices from 0dB to 15.5dB. The control is as precise as 0.5dB/step.
The O/E conversion of this node is carried out by high quality Silicon optical receiver module which is embedded with IC amplifier. The allowable optical input power is as wide as -9~+2dBm.
Forward-path RF amplification is done by a GaAs power doubler amplifier module. A plug-in fixed value equalizer is built to regulate output RF’s slope and a plug-in fixed attenuator to tune RF level down. 2 RF outputs is provided by this node.
Bidirectional design provides optional return-path. The node could be made with or without return path. For those without return path, upgrade to bidirectional could be made at spot by adding return-path transmitter module and necessary accessories. A plug-in fixed value attenuator is built to tune laser’s input RF level.
