1 FLO-1601 L-Band Fiber Transmitter
1.1 Introduction
The FLO-1601 is a fiber optic transmitter that allows an L-band satellite signal to be sent over a single mode
fiber. The fiber transmission is totally protocol transparent and the FLO-1601 maintains high signal fidelity
over the whole transmission.
The FLO-1601 accepts a wide range RF level input and provides automatic gain control (AGC). The RF link
gain, when using an FLO-1601 coupled with an FOL-1601 receiver, is unity, thus ensuring a nominal RF
output level regardless of the optical power or distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Moreover,
the FLO-1601 can provide optional LNB powering via the RF input port and also provides an L-band
monitoring output.
Housed in the DENSITÉ frame, and easily controllable via the iControl software or the frame controller menu,
the FLO-1601 is an ideal cost-efficient solution for connecting satellite dishes to a studio or any other
application involving seamless terrestrial transmission of L-band satellite signals.
