RF-Design QLink Quad Quad Outdoor/Indoor RF-over-Fiber

The QLink represents a Quad outdoor/indoor RF-over-Fiber system. The outdoor enclosure and the 1RU/19” rack mount chassis can each be populated with up to 4 optical TX (transmit) or RX (receive) modules, also supporting mixed TX/RX population allowing secure and high quality optical transmission of RF signals in L-Band or extended L-Band over a distance of up to 5 km. The outdoor enclosure is designed to be mounted directly at the antenna mast while the 1RU/19” indoor unit is for rack mount design. The QLink optical link system will be assembled in-house for your individual application.

The system also features variable gain-control, RF power monitoring, laser/link monitoring and switchable LNB-supply. Additionally to that a 10MHz reference signal can be injected at the indoor unit and is also transmitted via an optical link to the outdoor chassis. An optical data-link connection between the outdoor and the indoor unit allows monitoring, management and configuration of the outdoor system. The 1RU/19” indoor rack mount unit itself is equipped with an 100MBit Ethernet-interface supporting remote management of the overall QLink Quad RF-over-Fiber system (WebGUI, SNMP).
