telecommunications node provides for improved signal quality, extended transmission distances, increased system reliability and reduced system maintenance. Integrated within the optical node is power doubling RF amplification technology to 750 MHz. This allows for high level RF outputs, with high quality signal performance and minimal degradation, suitable for the transport of broadcast and narrowcast signals to multiple serving areas. Block Diagram (System Redundancy) Features: Forward Dual A/B Receivers Forward Dual Bandsplit Receivers Forward Single Receiver Forward Path The dual receiver functionality addresses split-band or redundancy applications and provides an automatic back-up system. A typical split-band configuration (see figure below) has analog signals in the 52 to 550 MHz band feeding one receiver, while digital transmissions, or narrowcast signals, are carried between 550 and 750 MHz on another fiber and processed by the second receiver. The redundant configuration allows for the input to the RF amplifier subsystem to be switched automatically from the primary receiver to the secondary receiver in the event that the primary unit loses optical signal input. file:////ncs-server-xp/temp/motorola CD 2001/frames.htm (3 of 13) [3/1/2010 10:47:23 AM]
Restoration of the primary path will result in an automatic switch to that path's optical receiver. Automatic path switch-over is accomplished through either the optional Status Monitoring or Redundancy Switch Driver modules. Receiver Module, AM-RM9/* The Broadband Telecommunications Node incorporates Motorola's proven optical receiver technology. It provides 750 MHz receive bandwidth, and is compatible with 1550 nm transmissions for super trunking or transport applications, as well as standard 1310 nm optical signals. The node's receiver and RF design facilitates various channel loading options, including full 110 analog channel loading. Optical to RF conversion is performed via a single fiber PIN diode photodetector and a hybrid preamplifier that is optimized for low noise and maximum carrier-to-noise. To assure reliability and performance, the receiver circuitry is designed into the die cast module for protection and effective thermal dissipation. RF Four independent RF outputs provide you with a wide variety of configurations and almost unlimited flexibility. You can have up to four high level bridger outputs, and a variety of bridger and trunk combinations. These flexible RF output port configurations address the market needs for high distribution levels, maximizing coaxial distribution from a single node, and reducing amplifier cascades, for moderate to high density systems. The high gain and output capabilities of the RF amplifier subsystem allows the node to be used in virtually all of the advanced fiber network topologies being used and designed today including Motorola's Broadband Telecommunications Architecture. file:////ncs-server-xp/temp/motorola CD 2001/frames.htm (4 of 13) [3/1/2010 10:47:23 AM]
Return Path FEATURES Return redundant transmitters Split return transmitters Return single transmitter As with the dual optical receivers, the dual return path optical transmitters have split-band or redundant functionality. In split-band applications, two of the four RF return signals are fed to one optical transmitter, while the remaining two return signals are fed to the second transmitter. This approach effectively doubles the available return bandwidth without the use of RF upconversion. When configured for redundancy (see figure below), both return lasers are active full-time, transmitting the combined RF return signals. In the event of path failure, return path redundancy is accomplished at the headend or receive site by switching to the alternate fiber. This functionality is extremely important in the evolving system designs for the transportation of telephony and other critical data streams. Return Path Transmitters, AM-MB-RPTDB/* and AM-TC-RPT/* Motorola offers a wide range of return path optical transmitters to meet present and future design criteria for data and video signal transmissions. Model AM-MB-RPTDB is a low-power laser diode transmitter capable of sending up to 10 data channels to the headend or hub. Data channels, such as those used in analog addressable return applications, are defined and specified as ± 150 khz FSK channels. file:////ncs-server-xp/temp/motorola CD 2001/frames.htm (5 of 13) [3/1/2010 10:47:24 AM]
The platform also offers you an optical transmitter which allows for the return transmission of advanced analog and digital services. Designed specifically to transport up to 2 NTSC video channel and two data channels back to the receive site, Model AM-TC-RPT/* utilizes a high performance Fabry- Perot laser designed for transmissions in the 5 to 40 MHz frequency range. The model AM-TC-RPT/* series of data and video optical transmitters offers several advanced features: Expanded channel loading capability, 35 MHz of digital data, such as return data from a RF Modem; a high optical output level, 0.4 mw; and a Thermal Slope Efficiency Compensator circuit which provides stable laser output power over temperature. Network Monitoring The LIFELINE TM status monitoring transponder applies the latest technological advances to network management applications. This module provides for optical link, receiver, transmitter, and RF electronics performance measurement, control, and alarm generation, and is an effective tool to improve system reliability, and reduce plant maintenance time. The status monitoring circuitry monitors the following parameters in the node: optical power, laser bias current, receiver current, AC and DC voltages, temperature, lid tamper switch, forward and reverse RF current, RF level and auto drive voltage. Accessories To ensure system flexibility, ease of installation and maintenance, enhanced user-friendly accessories are offered with the for full featured functionality. Designed to meet all of your system design criteria and requirements, the products are designed to use existing, compatible BTN node accessories such as standard attenuators, ADU, and the return amplifier kit. The ADU Automatic Drive unit, allows for automatic gain and slope controls of the RF amplifier, compensating for changes in signal level. A 50-foot, six-fiber, connectorized (SC/APC or FC/APC) fiber service cable can be provided to ensure a consistent, standardized, flawless connection with minimal attenuation for superior signal quality. The opto-electronic node platform, shipped as configured, can consist of the housing, RF electronics, power supply, optical receivers, optical transmitters, forward and return, status monitoring module, splice tray and service cable. Over 100 variations are available with configurations designed to address numerous system requirements such as bi-directional transmissions, varying RF output configurations, network monitoring, thermal control, automatic level control, RF return, surge protection and housing finish.
