h2 5.1 Simplified optical link model for transmission of a carrier
4 8 HAENNIG, Gerald
5 8 HAENNIG, Gerald
The model is based on the Spurious Free Dynamic Range :

h2. 5.2 Link comparison : Optical link vs Coaxial Cable for 30 m link length (like in a home)
10 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
11 7 HAENNIG, Gerald
In the following table, there is a comparison between coaxial cable to optical link.

|_. Parameter|_. Coaxial Cable|_. Optical Link |
14 5 HAENNIG, Gerald
|RF Gain @ 950 MHz [dB]|-3.6 |+0.5|
15 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|RF Gain @ 2150 MHz [dB]|-5.6|+3.0|
16 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Noise Figure @ 950 MHz [dB]|+3.6|+30|
17 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Noise Figure @ 2150 MHz|+5.6|+33|
18 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|IIP3 [dBm]|+50 |+10|
19 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|SFDR [dB/Hz2/3]|+145|+102|
20 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|LNB remote supply|Yes|No, supply close to antenna for OTX required|
21 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Current Consumption [mA]|0|700 mA / 12 V|
22 6 HAENNIG, Gerald
|LNB telecommand|Yes|No|
23 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Bidirectional link|Yes|Yes, but with additional hardware|
24 4 HAENNIG, Gerald
|Cost|Low|High|
25 7 HAENNIG, Gerald
26 7 HAENNIG, Gerald
For a distance of 30 m, optical link is not justified : performances and cost are not competitive with coaxial cable.
