FOGPSAL-RM

Description

This Fiber Optic GPS Antenna Link (FOGPSAL) is a complete GPS-over-Fiber package that can link the included L1 GPS antenna to distant or electrically isolated receivers for timing and diagnostic purposes. The FOGPSAL transmitter receives and encodes RF signals from 1.1 GHz to 1.7 GHz into optical data which is then sent up to 40KM over a customer-supplied single-mode fiber optic cable. The FOGPSAL receiver converts the optical pulses back into an RF signal which can be distributed to a network of GPS receivers. This device is designed to replace lossy and expensive long-distance coaxial cable runs.

Components

• 1U 19” Rackmount RF-to-Fiber Transmitter
• 1U 19” Rackmount Fiber-to-RF Receiver
• L1GPSA-N: GPS L1 Roof Antenna
• L1RAMB: Roof Antenna Mounting Bracket  
• Transmitter Power Supply
• Receiver Power Supply

Applications

• Any GNSS application with a long cable run between the roof antenna and the GNSS device.
• To supply a GNSS signal to devices within an electrically isolated environment or other applications where standard RF cable cannot be used. Bunkers, control rooms, etc.
• A FOGPSAL unit is often used in large buildings to supply basement cell sites with a GNSS timing signal.
