Satellite Signal Distribution
The attenuation of signal switches
and coaxial cables themselves in
large satellite TV distribution systems
is a factor every installer must take
into account. Less experienced
readers might think that one can
compensate for that by inserting
extra amplifiers in the signal paths.
But it helps only to some extent; we
can maintain reasonable signal level
but can not prevent signal quality
degradation.

The only way to keep the
C/N ratio really high is to
use low-loss switches and
transmission lines. But the
best solution that is available
today is the usage of optical
fiber cables. They can have as
low an attenuation as 0.2 dB
per kilometer and extremely
low error rates (10-10) even
at the highest bit rates.
Of course, everybody
knows that this is not elec-
trical current but a light
beam that travels along the
optical fiber cable. So, we
need to convert the electri-
cal signal into a modulated find out with our measure- The SOTx 1310607 NF has range from 47 through 2200

At the other end of the opti-

to it the model number:

connect the second trans-

cable. In this way, we do not
need separate power supply
units for every transmitter.
SPAUN’s PSU sold in a set is
strong enough to power up
to four transmitters assum-
ing no power for an LNB is
needed. If we need to power
a LNB, which will usually
be the case, the number is
reduced to three transmit-
ters. Nevertheless, it is a
simplification of the whole
installation.
The optical transmit-

To send “down” four sig-
nals from a Quattro LNB
we need to use four SOTx
1310607 NF transmitters.
Fortunately, it was possible
to miniaturize the receiver
much more than the trans-
mitter. The SORx 1310607
NF is a quad receiver: it has
four optical inputs and four
electrical RF outputs. In con-
trast to the transmitter, the
receiver is shipped without
a power supply, because it

tion unit or multiswitch, like

plug called “C” at the optical
receiver acts as connector to
power; here the user is sup-
posed to connect the coaxial
cable from a central unit or
multiswitch.
In our case we did it differ-
ently: as the optical receiver
needs exactly the same DC
voltage as the transmitter,
we took one power supply
units from the transmitter
sets. The units are very ver-
satile: not only do they offer
a wide supply voltage range
(100...240V AC / 47...63 Hz)
but SPAUN also delivers a
number of exchangeable pin
adapters so you can use it
anywhere in the world.
The DC supply can be con-
nected to any of the two F
connectors. As in the trans-
mitter, they are connected in
parallel. So if the DC power is
needed for a similar device in
the neighborhood, we will use
graph 3 rather a coaxial cable than
another power supply unit.
An LED indicator shows if the
unit is powered.
The transmitter and the
receiver can be mounted on
the wall with only 2 screws.
They should not be exposed
to the open air but rather used
indoors. However, their oper-
ating temperature is pretty
wide: -20°C through +50°C.

every unit is printed in Eng-
lish and German and provides
all necessary information
along with exemplary appli-

Measurements
After getting familiar with
the units, time had come to
put all the blocks together and
see what kind of performance
they offer. SPAUN recom-
mends to supply the optical
fiber distribution system with
really strong signals: 80-83
dBµV for the satellite IF and
85 for terrestrial. The maxi-
mum value is 95 dBµV.
