1.1 Theory of Operation
The USU RF to Fiber Modules provides a single-band link from a Headend distribution center to
multiple local antennae. RF signals are distributed over a pair of single mode fiber optic distribution
lines to each USU Remote.
Each Headend module can interface to multiple remote modules, the number depending upon the
Headend model.
The Headend modules do not
transmit directly out into the air.
Note! The remote module fiber optic I/O's are band specific, but the Headend fiber optic I/O's are not;
the Headend I/O's may be used for any band.
