Forward Configuration Module
Introduction
The forward configuration module determines the forward path topology in the RF
amplifier module and the 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node. The output signals from one to
four optical receivers enter the forward configuration module where they are
combined or directed to the four independent forward paths in the RF amplifier
module. The various types of the forward configuration module are described
below.
1x4 Forward Configuration Modules Description
The 1x4 Forward Configuration Module is used when the 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node is
configured with a single optical receiver routed to all four outputs of the RF
amplifier module. This module splits the signals equally to the inputs of the RF
amplifier module.
The following diagram shows how this module functions.
1x4 Forward Configuration Modules with Forward RF Injection
Description
The 1x4 Forward Configuration Modules with forward RF injection are similar to the
1x4 Forward Configuration Modules, but are used with the Forward Local Injection
(FLI) Module. The FLI Module routes an RF signal from an external source to the
Forward Configuration Module which is then coupled with other inputs from an
optical receiver.
The following diagram shows how this module functions.
