Applied Optoelectronics Announces the 1.8 GHz Cable Plant Signal Generator
March 16 2020 - 3:05PM
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAOI), a leading provider of
fiber-optic access network products for the internet datacenter,
cable broadband, telecom and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets,
today announced the release of the 1.8 GHz Cable Plant Signal
Generator (CPSG) that can be used to simulate the full channel
loading of the next generation cable TV networks.
The AOI CPSG is a 2 rack unit (RU) shelf that can generate OFDM
and 256-QAM signals from 54 MHz to 1794 MHz. This spectrum
range supports 192 MHz Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed
(OFDM) blocks and Single Carrier-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(SC-QAM) channels up to 4096 with a 256-QAM output at +22
dBmV/channel. Channel loading can be customized and
pre-configured for quick loading options. The signal
generator has three front panel connections: one F-connector RF
output, one 10/100 Ethernet connector for local control and
monitoring, and one USB connector for access to advanced features.
Additional features to be added in the future will be available
through remote software updates.
“The next step in the evolution of HFC networks is to move to
1.8 GHz,” said George Goncalves, Business Development at AOI.
“Extending the spectrum allows cable operators to upgrade their
bandwidth, particularly in the return-path in conjunction with
high-split architectures, while minimizing deployment costs by
utilizing existing HFC topologies. AOI’s CPSG will be able to help
cable operators simulate full channel loading for testing and
performance analysis. It is also expected to be a key piece
of test equipment used by component and network equipment
manufacturers as they develop their 1.8 GHz products.”
