i OPTICAL OPTION
This annex contains operating instructions for the next option:
„
OP-00x-PS.
This option expands the meter with these functions:
„
Selective Optical Power Meter
„
Selective Optical to RF Converter
„
RF 6 GHz Input
„
WiFi 5 GHz
„
LTE 2,6 GHz
The evolution of the telecommunications market, more and more demanding in
quality standards, speed, services and so on and also economical and
competitiveness factors has changed the trend in telecommunications
installations, and increasingly, fibre-optics is being imposed on traditional ADSL
twisted-pair copper lines.
For this reason and in anticipation of an increase of fibre-optics installations, this
option has been developed. It is applicable to the field strength meter and allows
adapting it in order to work with fibre-optics networks.
The selective meter option allows measurements on optical fibre networks,
which are necessary to certify an installation according to the parameters set by
local policies.
The optical to RF selective converter has a photosensor for each wavelength,
which obtains the RF signal carried by each one. With this module, user can
measure terrestrial or cable (up to 1 GHz) networks or optical LNB for satellite
antennas (up to 5.45 GHz), so that the installer does not need any additional
equipment to measure this type of installations.
The 6 GHz auxiliary RF input option can be used among other applications to
directly connect optical LNBs with 5.4 GHz output.
The 5 GHz WiFi option extends the WiFi Analyzer to the second frequency range
used for WiFi.
