Figure 4 - Transmitter Block Diagram
The 7320T Transmitter accepts RF input signal levels ranging from -40 to -20 dBm
total power (i.e. at 10 channel loading this is equivalent to -50 to -30 dBm per
channel). The unit amplifies the signal, and feeds it to a laser diode which linearly
converts the broadband RF signal to light intensity.

Figure 5 - Receiver Block Diagram
The 7320R Optical Receiver receives the optical intensity signal, and linearly converts
the signal back to RF. The Receiver then amplifies and reproduces the L-Band RF
signal.
