|_. Parameter|_. Coaxial Cable|_. Optical Link |
8 5 HAENNIG, Gerald
|RF Gain @ 950 MHz [dB]|-3.6 |+0.5|
9 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|RF Gain @ 2150 MHz [dB]|-5.6|+3.0|
10 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Noise Figure @ 950 MHz [dB]|+3.6|+30|
11 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Noise Figure @ 2150 MHz|+5.6|+33|
12 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|IIP3 [dBm]|+50 |+10|
13 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|SFDR [dB/Hz2/3]|+145|+102|
14 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|LNB remote supply|Yes|No, supply close to antenna for OTX required|
15 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Current Consumption [mA]|0|700 mA / 12 V|
16 6 HAENNIG, Gerald
|LNB telecommand|Yes|No|
17 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Bidirectional link|Yes|Yes, but with additional hardware|
18 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Cost|Low|High|
19 7 HAENNIG, Gerald
20 7 HAENNIG, Gerald
For a distance of 30 m, optical link is not justified : performances and cost are not competitive with coaxial cable.
