LF and GPS RF over Optical Fiber Link

A LF / GPS over fibre link system allows RF radio and GPS signals to be transmitted with minimal losses over long cable distances. It provides a secure and interference free link through noisy environments. The technology transparently provides cross-site connection between a LF radio / GPS antenna and receiver unit.

GPS over fibre optics

Advantages over Coaxial Cable Installations

  • Can provide both LF radio and GPS signals over a single cable.
  • Minimal signal loss and degradation over very long cable runs up to 10km.
  • Provides a highly secure tamper-proof connection between antenna and receiver.
  • Interference free link through noisy environments, the optical signal is unaffected by electrical noise.
  • Flexible, small-diameter, lightweight optical fibre cable favourably with heavy, large diameter and inflexible low-loss coax cable.
  • Lower cost of optical fibre cable compared with long cable runs of high quality low-loss coax.
  • Complete electrical isolation between antenna and receiver protects against lightning strikes and electrical surge

 

The RF to Fibre system is available in a range of versions:

  • GPS only signal reception.
  • LF Radio only for MSF / DCF-77 and WWVB time and frequency radio signal reception.
  • Dual GPS and LF radio signals combined onto a single fibre.
