GENERAL FEATURES
The OLRT L-Band fiber optic transmitter and the OLRR L-Band fiber optic receiver form
the basic L-Band Fiber Distribution System. The wide bandwidth 500MHz to 3,000MHz
or 10MHz to 3,600MHz allows for a wide variety of communications applications
including L-Band satellite antenna remoting, trunking radio, telemetry tracking and time
and frequency reference distribution. The extended frequency range to 3.6GHz allows
this to accommodate additional transponders including European satellite
communications applications. The enhanced bandwidth also facilitates stacked LNB
applications to accommodate additional transponders containing enhanced DBS
services (HDTV, local channels, etc.) over single-mode fiber for DBS distribution.
These stand-alone versions are designed for mounting in outdoor enclosures or in other
small spaces. For powering, the stand-alone units both the transmitter and receiver can
be powered via the wire leads or on the center of the coax connector.
