Product Description
Global Foxcom’s Platinum 70/140 MHz IF products are designed to meet the increasing demand for modularity andhigh-performance in a small form factor for superior long-distance transmission. The link performs at full capability
within 4dB, 10dB or 16dB optical budgets.
Utilizing Global Foxcom’s DigiRF technology, the user has full control of all important functions for setup, operation andanalysis via the front panel LCD or via the associated sub-rack SNMP capability.
In addition IMizer, an automated adjustable link calibration embedded system enables the user to align the RF links
IMD/CNR to specific linearity performances without a two-tone test. Select the desired IMD for the optical transmitter,either locally or remotely, IMizer automatically adjusts the laser drive to meet the IMD requirements.
Each low profile individual transmitter or receiver can be “hot swapped” in the sub-rack chassis maintaining a best
subsystem uptime capability. Each module contains an individual processor to maximize specification performance at
all times under demanding user applications.
The Platinum transmitters and receivers are designed for sub-rack chassis mounting. The associated Platinum chassis
has 12 active slots, one main control processor (MCP) slot and two redundant power supplies. No fans are required
even under full sub-rack loading and full LNB powering.

Typical IF-Uplink
Figure 4: Typical IF-Uplink System

Figure 4 represents two typical IF-band uplinks within a teleport. The system is comprised of two sets of19” 3RU indoor chassis (PL7010) with dual power supplies and an MCP Card.
The uplink consists of a pair of PL7330T transmitters at the control room site receiving two IF signals
from the modems and a pair of PL7330R receivers at the antenna site.
The other uplink represents one redundant link. A single IF-band signal is split at the output of themodem feeding into a pair of PL7330T optical transmitters at the indoor site. A pair of PL7330R receivers
at the antenna site converts the optical signals back into RF and feed into a 1:1 RF switch.
