Note 1: For a typical application scenario as SMW Ku-Band LNB (NF=0.8 dB; Gain=52 dB), 2.4 m satellite receiving antenna, 5 m coaxial cable from LNB to optical Tx module,
DVB-S2 satellite signal from Astra 19.2E Transponder, and under normal weather conditions.
Note 2: With the use of additional optical amplifiers, significantly higher optical losses on RF-over-Fiber links can be compensated. For example using the DEV Systemtechnik
EDFA Pre-Amplifier Module DEV 7415, optical losses up to the first -of potentially several- optical amplification stages can be up to 35 dB.
