C.2 FEATURES & APPLICATIONS
• M4-ChOLC modules are a front-end Channelized Signal Conditioner System
(Channel Selective, class A narrowband signal boosters per FCC definition) that
effectively and efficiently converts broadband BDAs into Channelized Class A
boosters compliant with FCC 90.219(d) rule.
• M4-ChOLC modules, Higher Input Dynamic Range, reduce the impact of strong
interfering input carriers (those that create 3
rd
order IM products landing right on
another system desired channel). Two interfering carriers could be up to -30 dBm at
the module’s input without causing harmful interference in the desired channel.
• M4-ChOLC modules, Higher Input (Rx) Intermodulation Rejection, -30 dBm maximum
input for two undesired carriers causing 3
rd
order IM interference.
• M4-ChOLC modules, 100 dB Automatic Output Level Control equalizes the output
signal at a fixed level regardless of the input level = improves the system dynamic
range to feed RF-over-Fiber optic links or remote boosters with constant levels to
overcome the link losses and the RF/Optic converter’s very high noise figures.
• M4-ChOLC modules Frequency and Phase Tracking follow exactly the input signal’s
frequency and modulation (analog or digital), with minimum delay.
• M4-ChOLC modules are Field-programmable Operating Frequency = PLL-based
Synthesizer.
• M4-ChOLC module Manual Input (Rx) Threshold and Output Power Level controls
provide easy field adjustments and Status Indicators (visual LED and Discrete Signals).
• M4-ChOLC modules, Small Foot-print & Simple Installation,
• M4-ChOLC stand-alone modules require only +15 VDC.
