The
PICO MACOM, INC.
PM45
Modulator has
been specifically designed for adjacent channel
headend use. It provides high stability and superior
picture and sound quality and assures reliable
operation even in the most crowded systems. The
high frequency and extremely high accuracy Phase
Lock Loop oscillator allows the unit to meet the
frequency offset and stability requirements of FCC
Docket 21006, even at hyperband output channels.
Modular construction allows the unit to be
reconfigured to any output channel by qualified
service centers. Superior out-of-band carrier to noise
is achieved by output amplifier bandpass filtering in
addition to IF SAW filtering.
