RF Signal Management

Actives: Introduction

Today’s broadband services require high-quality headend infrastructure that offers excellent performance, reliability and design flexibility. Furthermore, your infrastructure solution should maximize the uptime of carrier-class services like VoIP, VOD and HSD as applications evolve and your network changes.

Leveraging over a decade of RF amplifier design experience, ADC’s SignalOn® amplifiers have been engineered to meet these demanding service requirements. Featuring operation from 50 MHz to 1 GHz, the amplifiers offer excellent performance and reliability. SignalOn amplifiers and associated power supplies can be housed in the same chassis as the SignalOn passive products for increased design flexibility. With its electronically variable gain and slope controls, you can adjust signal levels in your network with no service downtime.

SignalOn amplifiers feature non-service-affecting gain and slope controls. This capability along with the patented make-before-break attenuator pad design of the splitters and combiners, allow for "hitless" RF signal adjustment—critical for today's carrier-class broadband service applications.
