The Olson LP-OLAR Advanced L-

Band Receiver offers a feature-rich,

versatile system in a compact rack-mount

package. The Advanced L-Band Receiver

has been engineered to meet today's high

performance standards for L-Band trans-

port with an extreme bandwidth range

that will also allow the system to handle

the next generation of satellite signals.

The Advanced L-Band system is ideal for a

wide variety of communications applica-

tions, including L-Band satellite antenna

remoting, trunking radio, telemetry

tracking, and time and frequency refer-

ence distribution. The extended frequency

range to 4GHz allows this system to

accommodate additional transponders

coinciding with common European satel-

lite communication applications.

The enhanced bandwidth to 4GHz is also

unique in that it facilitates stacked LNB

applications to accommodate additional

transponders containing enhanced DBS

programming services (e.g., HDTV, local

channels, etc.) over single-mode fiber for

DBS television distribution in campus,

fiber-to-the-premise (FTTx), and multiple

dwelling unit (MDU) environments. The

receiver is offered with 75 Ohm imped-

ance using “F” connectors or 50 Ohms

with SMA connectors. Optical connector options include

SC/APC and FC/APC.

The standard PIN-detector receiver offers high sensitivity

for a maximum optical link budget. An optional APD detec-

tor increases optical sensitivity by 7dB. Built-in test points,

LED indicators and alarms allow the receiver to be easily set

up and maintained.

The LP-OLAR Receiver is housed in a machined Aluminum

enclosure that fits the standard chassis allowing

up to 14 or 15 modules in a 3RU space. (The exact number

is determined by the number of power supplies in the

chassis, single or dual).

LaserPlus

Extreme bandwidth range of

10MHz to 4,000MHz handles all

satellite signals.

Excellent L-Band performance

with digital gain control over a

25dB RF range in 1dB steps.

Fully compatible with all Olson

Technology, Inc.’s L-Band trans-

mitters.

Optical input range from -15dBm

to +3dBm with standard PIN

detector or

-22dBm to -3dBm with

optional APD detector

Optional APD Detector for

enhanced sensitivity. PIN detector

is standard.

Built-In test points, LED indicators

and alarms for easy setup and

maintenance.

SC/APC optical connector stan-

dard, FC/APC connector optional.

Operational wavelengths range

from 1270nm to 1610nm.

Available with a variety of 75 Ohm

or 50 Ohm Connectors. 75 Ohm

“F” connector is standard.

RF and System Characteristics

NOTES:

1) The RF gain changes 2dB for each 1dB of optical loss.

2) The receiver P and IP3 is almost constant over the full RF gain range.

3) Noise figure is a complex variable that is influenced by the Tx and Rx attenuator settings as well as the optical loss. See the manual for detailed data.

4) The Hi/Lo Gain switch on the front panel changes the gain by +10dB. The hexadecimal rotary switch on the front panel changes the gain in 1dB steps. The “0”

setting on the rotary switch is the lowest gain (0dB). The “F” setting on the rotary switch is the highest gain (+15dB).

5) Optical Loss Budget based on +10dBm transmitter launch power (DWDM DFB Laser).
