Optiva OTS-2 C-Band
RF Fiber Optic Links
DATASHEET | OCTOBER 2013
SATCOM
The Optiva OTS-2 C-Band transmitter and receiver are ideal to
construct downlink 3.400 to 4.200 GHz and uplink 5.850 to
6.725 GHz transparent fiber optic links for antenna remoting,
electronic warfare systems, broadband delay lines, signal processing
systems and other high-dynamic-range applications.
Optiva satellite and microwave transmitters and receivers are SNMP
compliant. They can be housed in the same chassis and monitored by the same
Network Management System (NMS) as Optiva HD video, audio, serial data, and
USB extension / distribution cards to provide multiple format and frequency
transport in a single flexible platform.
Applications
System Design
Satcom C-Band Antenna Signal Distribution
Ground Terminal & Intra-Facility Links
Site Diversity Systems
The Optiva platform includes a wide range fiber
optic transport products for satellite and microwave
communications from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. These units can be used to construct
transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to >100 km for RF and
microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video transport, electronic
warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications.

Features / Benefits
Optiva is a completely modular, hot-swappable platform. Both 19” rack-mount
and compact tabletop, or wall-mountable enclosures are available. The 3 RU 19”
rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosures (Model OT-CC-16 and OT-CC-16F) can support
up to 16 insert cards and utilize two dual-redundant, hot-swappable, 100 or 200
watt power supplies. The 1 RU 19” rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosure (Model: OT-
CC-6-1U) can accommodate 6 insert cards and utilizes two hot-swappable 60 watt
power supplies. Compact one-slot (OT-DTCR-1), or two-slot (OT-DTCR-2) enclosures
are also available that use an external wall-mount power supply.
C-Band Uplink and Downlink - Eliminates the
performance and cost penalty of block up/
down conversion
Low RIN Source Laser - Provides high-
dynamic-range of >102 dB Hz2/3
Microprocessor-Based Transmitter Control
for Laser Bias, Modulator Bias & Link Gain
- Provides consistent high performance
operation and allows for modulator low-bias
operation and SFDR >102 dB Hz2/3
