SG4-* Analog Optical Return Path Transmitters
The analog SG4000 analog optical return transmitters are single wide modules that feature
either Fabry-Perot or Distributed Feedback lasers, depending on the level of performance
required. The physical form factor of each transmitter is identical and shown in Figure 4-4.
These transmitters have an integrated RF amplifier and all the active circuitry required to
provide RF drive to the laser, enabling optimized performance while minimizing set-up time. All
transmitters incorporate a microprocessor-controlled circuit to minimize any variation in the
optical modulation index (OMI) as the laser slope efficiency changes due to ambient
temperature variations. An optical output power DC voltage test point and RF input test point
are accessible through the top panel of the transmitter. RF drive level adjustments are
accomplished with a JXP style attenuator pad.
Figure 4-4 illustrates a functional block diagram of a typical SG4-* transmitter.
