Model 1200 Low Loss Ground to Antenna Tower Top Link

Product Details

The Eastern OptX Model 1200 Low Loss Ground to Antenna Tower Top Link dramatically reduces the loss associated with RF Cable links (Up to 40 GHz) used in antenna tower connections. These connections are often found in Radar test systems and Communication systems.

The 1200 not only reduces signal loss and SNR degradation, but also provides a turn-key solution, including cables, antennas, Tower Top Units, Tower Base Unit, and System Control. Custom options available. USB and Ethernet control. DC and AC power options.

Model 1200 Low Loss Ground to Antenna Tower Top Link

System Description

The 1200 receives the signal transmitted from the radar, converts it for optical fiber transmission, relays the signal to the base unit, demodulates, and may then be further processed. That processing may include target simulation (propagation loss and delay) or may be made available for other user signal processing. After processing, the resulting signal is modulated for optical transmission, transmitted to the tower top unit, converted back to RF, and transmitted. Additional features include tower top gain control, transmit and receive isolation, Doppler generation, multipath interference, and wanted and unwanted interferers.
