Information on mounting offset parabolic antennas
In order to ensure perfect reception, there must
be a clear line of sight to the satellite, at an angle
of approximately 30°.
The following satellites * will then be available:
1 TÜRKSAT 42° East
2 ASTRA 2 Group 28.2° East
3 ASTRA 3 Group 23.5° East
4 ASTRA 1 Group 19.2° East
5 EUTELSAT W 2 16° East
6 EUTELSAT-HOTBIRD 13° East
7 EUTELSAT W 1 10° East
8 HISPA-Sat 30° West
Ensure that there are no obstacles between the
antenna and the respective satellite (e.g. trees,
roof or building sections, other antennas).
These can hamper reception to such a degree
that there is no reception at all during bad
weather conditions or even make reception
impossible in general.
* Reception dependent on the location and the footprint of the respective satellite

Satellite reception systems
Feed systems
The feed system is the heart of a satellite reception system.
Here, the signals are processed and amplifi ed.
Satellite TV currently uses the following two frequency
ranges: The high band (11.70-12.75 GHz) and the
low band (10.70-11.70 GHz).
Since both the high and low band is required for
reception of all programmes, Kathrein feed systems
are factory-equipped for both ranges.
The systems are technologically mature and
offer top picture and sound quality at all times.
HDTV (High Defi nition Television) can be received
with any Kathrein LNB.
As far as long-term usage is concerned, the feed systems
are sealed in such a manner that they are protected against
rain water and can therefore be used in adverse weather
conditions.
A low noise fi gure and a high system fi gure of merit ensure
an excellent reception quality, even with smaller refl ectors.
Due to their compact design, up to three Kathrein feed
systems for multi-feed reception can be mounted on one
parabolic antenna.
General safety information
The Kathrein parabolic antennas CAS 90/HD (90 cm Ø),
CAS 120/124 (120 cm Ø), CAS 180 (180 cm Ø) and
CAS 23 (220 cm Ø) were designed to comply with the
EN 60728 and fulfi l the European standard
ETS 300019-2-4 (12.94) regarding vibration requirements.
On choosing the installation site, building-specifi c
characteristics (e.g. vibration-prone buildings) and thereby
caused excessive working loads and wind loads acc. to
DIN 1055-4 (2005-03) and DIN 4131 must be considered.
The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure
can mutually infl uence each other and cause detrimental
changes.
Non-observance of these norms and guidelines may
cause antenna parts to fall off!
Note:
The warranty terms for Kathrein feed systems
can be found on page 50.

Optical Broadband Platform
General
Optical broadband platform for up to 16 modules
Fitted with two redundant power supply and
cooling fan units
Wide selection of optical transmitters,
amplifi ers and return path receivers
All optical and electrical connections are located on
the rear panel. Test sockets are on the front panel
Can be integrated in any HMS-conform
monitoring system
Pluggable control panel with LC display,
LEDs and input keys
Tuning and management also via Web browser
RS 485 remote monitoring and control interface
Several optical broadband platforms can be managed
using just one controller module
Automatic redundant operation of adjacent modules
High reliability due to dust-proof designed modules
and large cooling ribs
Models available for mains voltage (100 ... 240 V AC )
and direct voltage (36 ... 72 V DC )
Design: 19” racking, four rack units (RU)
Kathrein’s KOBRA system offers a comprehensive
broadband platform meeting all the requirements of
optical transmission. A wide range of optical transmitters,
amplifi ers and return path receivers is complemented
by individual units in 19” design.
The foundation is based on the 19” broadband platform
KBP 4000R, into which a total of 16 modules can be
inserted. It is already equipped with two redundant power
supply and cooling fan units ensuring reliable operation.
The product package additionally includes a pluggable
control panel with LC display, status LEDs and input keys.
A power bus system in the rear section of the platform
enables direct module connection to the 24 V DC supply
voltage, to the RS 485 remote supervision and control
interface as well as to control panel management.
The broadband platform is designed as a four RU module
carrier and can also be adapted to ETSI cabinets. For use
in hubs, for example, the remotely fed broadband platform
48 V DC variant (KBP 4048R) can also be used.
Extensive management and monitoring facilities allow
fl exible and reliable operation in any net confi guration.
The provided pluggable control panel enables all
required settings to be made on inserted devices.
The net element controller module Ethernet (NCM 10)
plays the leading role in this function.
This unit establishes the connection between the control
panel and all plugged-in modules via the RS 485 bus.
The NCM 10 can thereby control up to three fully equipped
KBP 4000R or 4048R broadband platforms.
On the other hand, it converts the RS 485 data to SNMP/
Ethernet and Web browser/Ethernet protocol. Thus, all
settings and queries can be carried out via PC with a
Web browser.
In addition, it is possible to integrate the broadband platform
in any HMS-compatible monitoring system such as the
KOM system from Kathrein.
Together with the Kathrein optical compact receivers, the
KOBRA can be used to set up an optical distribution system
that meets each and every requirement.
Modular design and a broad product programme make it
possible to design anything cost-effectively, from simple
optical feeds to classic HFC structures and video distribution
in FTTH networks.

Optical Broadband Platform
In Detail
The optical broadband platform KOBRA is designed
with a sophisticated operation and management concept.
The central element is the net element controller “NCM 10”.
This module provides the interface to the rear RS 485 bus
to which all platform modules are connected. In addition,
it establishes the connection to external management
systems, e.g. via Web browser, or monitoring systems,
such as HMS monitoring systems.
Gerät
16
Ultimately, it enables local setting of all parameters through
the control panel with display and input keys. Decentralized
data storage in each individual module allows independent
operation (without the controller module) after start-up.
Slim modules, some with dual functions (e.g. return path
receiver), ensure high functional density. Minimal space
requirement increases cost-effectiveness and makes later
upgrading easier. Despite their high output power, the optical
amplifiers only require two or three slots.
All test sockets are located on the front panel.
This guarantees easy access for tests or measurements.
The optical and RF interfaces are located on the rear
panel of the platform, simplifying cabling in 19” racks.
Redundant power supply units, each equipped with
double fan units, ensure high reliability. If service is
required, the power supply units can even be exchanged
under operational conditions (hot-pluggable).
Ample cooling ribs guarantee long endurance of all
active components. An additional advantage is the
dust-proof design of all components.
The cooling air only flows along the cooling ribs and not
through the modules themselves. Disturbances due to
dust and dirt are therefore practically ruled out.

transmission and reception stations.
The module carriers are equipped with redundant power
supply units for 230 V AC and 48 V DC , which can even be
exchanged during operation without causing service
interruption (hot-pluggable).
The power supply cooling fan units are constructed
to even cool modules that are dust-proof.

RFoG return path receiver
ORM 43E-RFoG 24710047
The ORM 43E-RFoG is designed for use in RFoG
networks, in which typically 32, 64 or 128 optical
micro-nodes are connected to a return path receiver
using optical combiners.
This is possible because with the DOCSIS protocol it is
ensured that in each case only one return path receiver
sends a data package when a DOCSIS data package from
the cable modem exists at the input of the micro-node.
The passive optical coupling enables the saving of return
path receivers. The very cost-effective RFoG micro-nodes
ORA 11x-RFoG and ORA 12x-RFoG enable the designing
of very economic network concepts.

Optical fibre switch
OFS 112-E 24810223
The optical fi bre switch OFS 112-E generally has the same
function as an electrical change-over switch. Switch-over of
the optical fi bre occurs autonomically due to the monitoring
function of the input ports. If the optical input power sinks
below the threshold, the switch changes over to the
redundant port.
The fi eld of applications of the optical fi bre switch are
redundancy protections in HFC fi bre networks.

24710033

24810092
The ORA 9022-1G is a modularly equipped, high-linear
FTTC fi bre node in a compact housing featuring integrated
fi bre management for use in modern HFC networks.
The ORA 9022-1G is compatible with 862 MHz networks,
via two operation modes (862 MHz or 1 GHz).
In 862 MHz operation mode, the ORA 9022-1G operates
identically to the ORA 9022 862-MHz device.
The modular concept of the ORA 9022-1G allows systemspecifi
c configuration of the fibre node (both with initial
equipping and with retrofi tting) and quick replacement of
components if these are faulty.
In simplest operation, the forward path is equipped with an
extremely low-noise receiver. A second optical receiver may
be implemented to support the redundancy function.
The automatic control of the receiver provides a constant
RF output level over the complete intended optical input
power range.
The opto-electrically converted signal is raised to the
required level and slope with the aid of high-linear,
low-noise amplifi er stages and (partly pluggable)
pre-emphasis elements.
The signal distribution on both of the active RF outputs
occurs through a corresponding plug-in card, whereby if
only one RF output is required the second output path can
be switched off via the hand-held unit, leading to signifi cant
reduction of fi bre node power consumption.
The stability of the output level can be achieved via an
automatic control that evaluates either one or two pilot
signals (from the correspondingly specifi ed frequency
range), available both as a CW carrier and as PAL or
QAM modulated signals.
The levelling of the compact fi bre node may be done in
a time-saving way and without the use of additional signal
meters by selecting the function “automatic levelling”
of the RF output level. For this function the pilot level
values are adjusted and saved ex works.
Note:
The shown IEC sockets are not included in the
delivery scope.
Only the required pilot level values need to be entered
in the fi eld, with the aid of the hand-held unit. The device
then automatically adjusts itself to the correct values.
On-site, the RF output signal of the fibre node can be
tapped and checked at a test socket.
The ORA 9022-1G can be equipped with an HMS or
DOCSIS compliant monitoring transponder.
When integrated into a network management system,
fi bre node alarms can be controlled and device parameters
and functions set and monitored.
The integrated fi bre management fi xture allows convenient,
secure accommodation of glass-fi bres and plugs, and in
addition the fi xing of any optical multiplexers/demultiplexers
and splitters used.
All local device settings are user-friendly and menucontrolled
via the connectable hand-held unit (HTE 10).

The optical compact receivers ORA 920/921 provide the
largest possible range of functions in a very compact
housing. Like the amplifi ers in the VGF 939/VOS 95x family,
all essential settings are made using slide switches.
On the other hand, they profit from the optical receiver and
transmitter modules for the ORA 9022. As low-cost optical
compact receivers, they are used particularly in networks
with a wide-ranging optical fi bre structure or in smaller
optical distribution networks.
Due to the modular layout, the slide switch technology and
the well thought-out details, setup and service are quick
and straightforward. Here the ORA 920/921 can provide
functions that are not a matter of course in this device class.
Above all, the return path up to 200 MHz, up to 7 A remote
feed current per output, direct feed on the device, the
monitoring feature via HMS transponder, the switchable
15 MHz high-pass fi lter and many other advantages are
worthy of mention.
As standard, a DC light-controlled AGC automatically
ensures the output level remains constant. Deviations or
fl uctuations in the optical input level are compensated.
Various DFB types in 1,310 nm and in CWDM technology
are available as return path transmitters. Thanks to the
high output power of up to +6 dBm, very large distances
can be covered. As a result it is possible to design optical
fi bre networks without intermediate hubs, saving fi bre.
ORA 920SC
The adjustment of the Optical Modulation Index (OMI) for
the return path transmitter is solved particularly cleverly.
The required OMI is set electronically using a rotary switch.
However, this setting can also be changed using remote
maintenance via the HMS transponder.
Light emitting diodes indicate which setting currently has
priority. On the ORA 920/921 the optical interfaces are
located on the exterior of the device and are therefore
easy to access. Beside them is the separate broadband
return path input up to 200 MHz.
The remote feed voltage for the operation of the ORA 920
and downstream amplifi ers can be fed directly into the
power supply unit. Each RF output with its dedicated remote
feeder reactance coil can be loaded up to 7 A (10 A in total).
Notes:
At least one ORD 120 or ORD 21 plug-in module is
required for operation.
If the ORD 120 is used, the OFC 90/SC optical patch
cable is required. For the confi guration with only one
output, no insert card is required. Cable fi ttings for the
outputs are not included in the delivery scope.

The OSR 9003 P65-C1x is additionally equipped with a
second pilot tone at 65 MHz for level adjustment of the
optical return path. It is intended for use in the optical
mini-nodes ORA 920/921 and the optical fi bre nodes
ORA 9022 or 9022-1G.
The attenuation of the return path signals and the
resulting setting of the optical modulation index is set
and controlled fully electronically in the module.
The innovative operating concept enables the setting of
the optical modulation index by simple input of the
desired modulation index as well as the electrical system
level at the input of the base device.
In the ORA 920/921 these adjustments can be performed
using a rotary switch. All relevant states of the return path
transmitter can be requested or set through an optional
HMS transponder.
The transmission parameters of the return path transmitter
can also be adapted during operation by using an
appropriate monitoring system.
OSR 9003 P65-C1x
return path receivers such as the ORM 22, this pilot can
also be used to enable identifi cation of the return path
transmitter at the headend.
In this case the return path transmitter is assigned a
unique ID by the monitor which can then be transmitted
with the pilot tone and evaluated at the headend.
To obtain a good decoupling between the forward and
return path signals, a switchable 65 MHz lowpass has
been integrated into the return path transmitter.
This can be switched off as soon as the base device is
confi gured for broadband return path signals.
The return path transmitter can then be used to transmit
return path signals in the 5-200 MHz frequency range for
future applications.
The optical modulation index is kept constant at 625 kHz
with the pilot tone. Provided this is supported by optical

Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG)
General
Because RFoG extends the range of glass-fibre networks
to buildings (FTTB) and even into living rooms (FTTH), this
technology can be seen as being FTTX technology based
on the common DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS standard.
In principle, RFoG can be seen as a PON replacement for
the coaxial part of an HFC network.
For cable network operators, RFoG offers an attractive
way of simply upgrading existing networks to FTTB or
even FTTH levels without having to leave familiar territory.
Investments already made in DOCSIS technology
(CMTS, cable modems) can continue to be operated
without modification. In RFoG clusters, only the return
path receivers must be exchanged.
The coaxial part of an HFC network can be entirely
replaced by a single mono-mode fibre (PON).
RFoG standardisation is driven forward by the SCTE
under the title of ‘Advanced Fibre Access’.
Basic principle of an RFoG network
The table below gives an approximate overview of
realisable RFoG cluster sizes and the correspondingly
realisable fibre lengths:
RFoG clusters Optical splitter Fibre length
1 : 8 12 dB 48 km
1 : 16 15 dB 36 km
1 : 32 17 dB 24 km
1 : 64 21 dB 12 km
1 : 128 24 dB < 1 km

24710043
24710050
24710053
The ORA 11x-RFoG micro-nodes are designed for use
in FTTB and FTTH networks.
The full CATV/EuroDOCSIS frequency spectrum is available
on the downstream output. EuroDOCSIS signals
are transmitted in the upstream.
What’s new about this concept is that the return path
laser is only activated when transmission is actually
from a cable modem on this return path.
ORA 118-RFoG
This has two advantages:
1. Less ingress
and
2. The optical return path fibres can now be passively
combined with an optical coupler because noise
accumulation is not applicable. The advantages of
having to use fewer return path receivers is considerable,
enabling very cost-effective network concepts.
It is convenient to always combine the micro-nodes in
multiples of 8, whereby clusters with 8, 16, 24 and 32 micronodes
are created. The attenuation of the passive coupling
elements and the fi bre length function are limiting elements
here.
The ORA 11x RFoG micro-nodes comply with the current
SCTE standard SCTE 1742010 for RFoG (RF over Glass).

24710056
The ORA 21x-RFoG micro-nodes are designed for use
in FTTB and FTTH networks.
The full CATV/EuroDOCSIS frequency spectrum is available
on the downstream output. EuroDOCSIS signals
are transmitted in the upstream.
What’s new about this concept is that the return path
laser is only activated when transmission is actually
from a cable modem on this return path.
This has two advantages:
1. Less ingress
and
2. The optical return path fibres can now be passively
combined with an optical coupler because noise
accumulation is not applicable. The advantages of
having to use fewer return path receivers is considerable,
enabling very cost-effective network concepts.
ORA 210-RFoG
It is convenient to always combine the micro-nodes in
multiples of 8, whereby clusters with 8, 16, 24 and 32 micronodes
are created. The attenuation of the passive coupling
elements and the fi bre length function are limiting elements
here.
The ORA 21x-RFoG micro-nodes are equipped with
a plug-in power supply unit.
They comply with the current SCTE standard
SCTE 1742010 for RFoG (RF over Glass).

ORM 43E-RFoG 24710047
The ORM 43E-RFoG is designed for use in RFoG
networks, in which typically 32, 64 or 128 optical micronodes
are connected to a return path receiver using
optical combiners.
This is possible because with the DOCSIS protocol it is
ensured that in each case only one return path receiver
sends a data package when a DOCSIS data package from
the cable modem exists at the input of the micro-node.
The passive optical coupling enables the saving of return
path receivers. The very cost-effective RFoG micro-nodes
ORA 11x-RFoG and ORA 12x-RFoG enable the designing
of very economic network concepts.

Experiences and recommendations for RFoG projects
In order to satisfy the continuously increasing demand for
broadband capacity, telecommunication service providers
increasingly implement glass fi bre into their access
networks. Cable network operators have expanded their
networks primarily with HFC technology and offer their
customers a diversity of new services via DOCSIS cable
modem systems.
RFoG technology makes possible a fl exible transition from
HFC to FTTB networks, whereby essential infrastructure
components such as central headends, DOCSIS systems,
building cabling and end devices are used.
Compared to a complete change to FTTH glass fi bre technology,
lower investments are needed and end customers
are not disturbed. In this way, cable network operators can
prepare themselves for future capacity expansions, and
with established technology also stand their ground
against the competition.
Introduction to RFoG
Because RFoG extends the range of glass-fi bre connection
technology to buildings (FTTB) and even into living
rooms (FTTH), this technology can be seen as being FTTX
technology based on the common DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS
standard. In principle, RFoG can be seen as a PON
(passive optical network) for specifi c parts of the HFC
network. By specifying the optionally available 1,610 nm
wave length, the system can even be migrated to a
complete GPON/GEPON network.
This ensures future use of the most important infrastructure
devices such as optical splitters and optical transmission
devices. RFoG standardisation with the SCTE bears the
title of ‘Advanced Fibre Access’.
Reasons for upgrading to FTTX/RFoG technologies
Four clear reasons exist:
1. Increasing bandwidth demand
2. Established telecommunications operators are in
competition with cable network operators, each with
new technologies. IPTV via xDSL or FTTX technologies
against CATV, VoIP and internet via DOCSIS technology
3. Customer requirements: residential building companies
increasingly demand FTTB or FTTH technologies
4. Economic pressure
Benefits of RFoG technology
The following lists some of the most important advantages
of RFoG technology:
- Expansion of the existing HFC network
- Wider bandwidths to customers
- Existing HFC headend devices can still be used
- Existing HF distribution technology in buildings
can be maintained
- Cable modems can continue to be used
- Strengthening of competitive capacity compared
to VDSL and GPON services
- Modifi cation of the network to a highly cost-effi cient
DOCSIS-based FTTB/FTTH infrastructure

Experiences and recommendations for RFoG projects
What makes RFoG so attractive?
RFoG offers cable network operators an attractive option
to simply upgrade existing networks to FTTB or even
FTTH levels without exposure to unknown territory.
Previous investments in DOCSIS technology and a majority
of the optical transmitting and receiving technology can still
be used. The coaxial part of the HFC network can be
entirely replaced by a single fi bre solution (FTTH).
Alternatively the existing coax cabling and cable modems
of the subscribers can be kept unchanged. The subscribers
are thus not inconvenienced with cable replacement.
How is RFoG different to HFC?
1. The most obvious new feature with RFoG technology
is the passive optical splitter/combiner that distributes
the downstream signal to the micro-nodes and that
combines the return path signals from the micro-nodes
on an optical fi bre. In this way each individual coaxial
HF cluster is transformed into a passive optical RFoG
cluster.
2. RFoG micro-nodes with return path transmitters in burst
mode enable a passive combining of return path signals.
3. Return path receivers with high input sensitivity and
burst mode capability in the headend enable an optical
budget of 28 dB for the return path
3. When measuring optical power on the return path it must
be noted that this is pulsed, which may lead to erroneous
test results. Without a functional cable modem there is
no or very low optical output power. In the HF range, the
normal DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS test devices can be used
as usual because the RFoG system behaves transparently
for (Euro)DOCSIS signals at the HF connections
4. Use of wave length-independent PLC splitters
5. Suffi cient isolation between the (high power) transmitter
downstream and the highly sensitive RFoG receiver
upstream must be ensured. The difference between
transmitted optical power to minimum permissible
reception power may exceed 40 dB
What needs to be considered when using RFoG?
Some aspects exist that might be overseen when setting
up a first RFoG network, leading to erroneous test results
and misunderstandings. To avoid this, we recommend the
following:
1. Special RFoG return path receivers must be used,
because if conventional return path receivers are used
it is not possible to achieve an optical budget of 28 dB
upstream. These old devices, because of automatic
amplifying control loops, are not designed for receiving
pulsed optical signals and may have insuffi cient
response times.
2. The effects of channel bonding in accordance with
EuroDOCSIS 3.0 are specifi ed in the section‚ RFoG
and EuroDOCSIS 3.0
RFoG offers greater reliability, signal quality,
bandwidth and economy
The effects of RFoG technology on HFC architectures are
enormous: The replacement of coaxial cable amplifi ers
with passive optical fi bres has a positive effect on energy
consumption, network dependability and operating costs
(OpEx).
The higher network reliability is easily understood: there
are several active amplifi ers with a specifi c age and reliability
value and many older coax devices that can be replaced
with higher reliability values via several passive optical
splitters, a mono-mode fi bre and small RFoG micro-nodes.
178
RFoG

Radio Frequency over Glass
Experiences and recommendations for RFoG projects
With signal quality, forward path (downstream) and
return path (upstream) must be differentiated between:
The gains in signal quality in the downstream cannot be
used for expanding the bandwidth by using higher modulation
types because the gain in signal quality with values
signifi cantly below 1 dB is not suffi cient.
The next higher modulation type requires a 6 dB-higher
carrier to noise ratio (CNR) - the number of channels,
carrier level and optical modulation index remain
unchanged.
Of course, complex considerations are created due to
adaptation of the parameters above in order to also
enable higher modulation types with less CNR increase.
The situation is completely new and improved in
the upstream:
1. The coaxial upstream is now usually implemented via
a mono-mode fi bre that is subject to neither EMC nor
ingress
2. The return path laser operates in burst mode and transmits
only when a (Euro)DOCSIS signal is detected from
the transmitting cable modem. Less ingress is passed
to the receiver in the headend; thus according to ingress
situation, the signal quality and reliability of communication
is improved by several decibels, as we already
know from previously designed RFoG networks.
A correct system design enables higher modulation types
and signifi cant improvements in upstream bandwidth
RFoG saves costs in two ways:
1. Device costs can be saved as less return path receivers
are needed. A 64-port splitter reduces the number of
return path receivers to 1/64. In addition, all active coax
amplifi ers can be completely removed from an RFoG
cluster
2. The higher reliability due to less components used, less
devices maintained and reduced energy consumption
cut operating costs
The HFC fibre node can become part of an active
RFoG hub.
Depending on the type of network (FTTB or FTTH), the
micro-node is situated at the entrance to the building or
at the apartment entrance.
Size of the RFoG cluster
The table below gives an approximate overview of
possible cluster sizes and fi bre lengths:
RFoG clusters Optical splitter Fibre length
1 : 8 12 dB 48 km
1 : 16 15 dB 36 km
1 : 32 17 dB 24 km
1 : 64 21 dB 12 km
1 : 128 24 dB ˂ 1 km
Which part of an HFC network can be replaced
by RFoG?
It is possible to replace a complete HFC network with
RFoG. Also, specifi c parts (clusters) can also be replaced.
In addition, the range of HFC networks can be expanded
with RFoG technology by adding RFoG clusters to the
peripheral areas of the HFC network.
By integrating a second level, the coax components on
the fi bre nodes of the HFC network can be partially or
completely replaced by a single mono-mode fi bre and
passive PLC splitter.
The RFoG components: Optical return path receiver
There are two reasons for using a specially constructed
RFoG return path receiver:
1. In order to gain an optical budget of up to 28 dB, construction
of a new return path receiver with an ultra-sensitive
input stage is required (noise fi gures ˂ 1 pA/√Hz)
2. Standard HFC return path transmitters are in operation
continuously (CW mode) and enable the return path
receiver to use the received light for constant optical
light control (AGC). This is no longer possible with RFoG
systems because the return path laser in the micro-node
is only then activated when a QAM burst from a cable
modem is detected
RFoG
179

Radio Frequency over Glass
Experiences and recommendations for RFoG projects
RFoG nodes
The RFoG return path laser transmits only after detecting
a QAM burst on the return path from a cable modem.
This gives two decisive advantages:
1. Lower ingress
2. The optical return path fi bres can now be passively
combined with an optical coupler because noise accumulation
is not applicable. With use of less return path
receivers, signifi cant savings in costs, space and energy
can be achieved, allowing planning of more economic
network concepts (PON)
Of course a complete HFC cluster should always be
replaced by RFoG. The HF output signal of the RFoG
return path receiver equates to the HF output of the
HFC return path receiver.
RFoG and FTTX
RFoG can be seen as an independent FTTX technology
or as TV/DOCSIS expansion for GPON networks. With the
aid of WDM fi lters, both RFoG and GPON technology can
use the same fi bres without problems.
RFoG and EuroDOCSIS 2.0
Optical splitters/combiners
EuroDOCSIS 2.0 is the perfect basis technology for use in
RFoG architectures. Thanks to high performance time slot
assignment by the CMTS, each individual cable modem is
assigned a time for data transmission, and this is ideally
supplemented by the RFoG technology.
This enables maximum exploitation of the optical budget;
the possible bandwidth of an RFoG cluster is pre-defi ned
by DOCSIS 2.0 specifi cations.
At the moment special splitter confi gurations based on
PLC technology are available, optimised for use in the
RFoG headend with up to 64 ports in a 19” 1 RU device.
In principle there are two possible situations that each
demand a different material selection:
1. The passive splitter/combiner is placed in the headend.
A good solution is to select 2 x 32 or 2 x 64 splitters/
combiners with two identical inputs or 32 or 64 output
ports. Isolation of both input ports is greater than 55 dB
and can therefore be used in most RFoG setups to
avoid crosstalk of the output power downstream to
the high-sensitivity return path receiver. An input port
is used for downstream distribution and another for the
output upstream
2. The splitter/combiner is installed in the fi eld as in a
typical PON architecture. In this case the downstream
and upstream wavelengths have to be separated in the
headend with aid of a WDM that has suffi cient isolation
to avoid the above-mentioned crosstalk
Coexistence of RFoG and HFC in the same network
The differing setup principles of HFC and RFoG technology
can exist side by side in the same network or DOCSIS area.
Further clusters can be added to an existing HFC network
when using RFoG without the need for modifi cations in the
DOCSIS data area, the learning of new network protocols
or investments in new testing equipment.
RFoG and EuroDOCSIS 3.0
With (Euro)DOCSIS 3.0 based systems, more complex
situations occur with the bonding of channels. More than
one return path laser may transmit simultaneously, possibly
leading to a deterioration of the carrier to noise ratio (CNR)
at the output of the return path receiver.
This makes a greater system reserve necessary that permits
such deterioration. In addition, DOCSIS error correction
corrects temporary deterioration or interruptions that
may also occur upstream in conventional HFC channels
due to disrupting signals.
Communication can be interrupted by so-called beat noise
with the bonding of channels, and if two or more transmitters
are also transmitting on precisely the same wave
length. If this only happens for a short period, then
DOCSIS error correction eliminates such effects.
Many network operators implement fi eld tests with RFoG,
and beat noise could not be detected in various RFoG
networks. As such, we believe this is a seldom-occurring
phenomenon. It must also be stated that beat noise is
only a factor for transmission in the upstream channel;
the downstream signals (TV and DOCSIS downstream)
are not affected by this anyway.

Connection of rural areas
The migration path
Let us assume a cluster with 500 subscribers and four
apartments per building for example. This means a total of
125 buildings need to be connected to an RFoG network.
In an FTTB situation, the 125 buildings are typically connected
with 125 micro-nodes, two 64-port splitters and
two RFoG return path receivers.
With the use of 64-port splitters with approximately 21 dB
insertion loss and a total optical budget of 24 dB, 3 dB or
an optical fi bre length of around 12 km must be used for
connection of the 125 buildings.
This is a highly practical value for a rural region.
RFoG is the technology of choice for bringing high bandwidths
to urban and rural areas that were until now not
connected but that are only a few kilometres from existing
HFC networks.
Is there an advantage when connecting a campus?
To represent the connection of a campus area the
same fi gures are used as specifi ed above:
500 subscribers with four users per offi ce. That means
125 offices. The distance between the offi ces can be
specifi ed as short with maximum length of the fi bres
being < 1 km.
A 128-port splitter with insertion loss of 24 dB can be used.
Thus all 500 subscribers are passively connected with an
RFoG return path receiver or a CMTS port.
With use of EuroDOCSIS 3.0 and the bonding of eight
downstream channels, these 500 subscribers share a
bandwidth of 400 Mbps.
During the operating life of a broadband network, several
opportunities for introducing RFoG technology exist:
1. Upgrading to EuroDOCSIS 3.0 - in this case, older
EuroDOCSIS 2.0-CMTS can be installed in network
components with less data traffi c, for example for expansions
in rural areas, as RFoG is the ideal solution for
thinly populated regions and because EuroDOCSIS 2.0-
CMTS has a longer service life
2. Broadband upgrading, new contracts and replacing older
components offer further options for introducing RFoG
3. It is also possible to expand a coaxial network with
RFoG to increase area coverage. Suggesting leaving
some coaxial elements in the ground may sound
far-fetched, but is in fact a realistic situation that has
been decided upon by several network operators to
expand the operating life of still-functioning linear amplifi
ers and to push forward extended use of fi bres (RFoG)
Summary
Kathrein has successfully implemented several RFoG
projects, and our fi ndings are described in this article
under “What needs to be considered when using RFoG?”.
Because of the extremely low probability of interference
noise, upstream transmission interruptions from these
disturbance signals can be more or less ignored. This has
been confi rmed by experience in practice from several
network operators. This assumption has also been backed
up by several fi eld test measurement surveys.
RFoG is also the preferred technology for bringing a
high bandwidth into campus areas with use of existing
mono-mode fi bres if the building is within an existing
HFC network, as is often the case in urban areas.

The optical splitters of the BOS 20xx series with one
racking unit are very compact, and are optimally suited
to application in HFC, RFoG and FTTX networks where
high packing densities in the headend are what counts.
These components are used to split high power CATV
optical signals in the wave length range 1,260 to 1,650 nm
to the required number of distribution fi bres, or in RFoG
networks to couple the upstream signals together before
feeding them into optical return path receivers.
The BOS 20xx splitters are equipped with two equal optical
input ports that can be used for path redundancy, as
a service port or as a downstream and upstream port.
Similar topicture
The special advantage of the BOS 20xx series is also
due to the fact that a large number of splitters are already
preconfectioned and ready to use - a huge benefi t for
network operators in terms of reliability and costs.

Maximum connection density is obtained through the use
of extremely compact LC connectors. Other standard
connectors, such as LC/APC or SC/APC are of course also
available. If these connectors are used, connection density
is only half as high.

Fibre-to-the-Home
General
Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks offer the highest data
rates, comprehensive multi-media services, rapid Internet,
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone services and much more.
The optical termination unit at the subscriber’s premises
thereby plays a key role in this type of network. Here
Kathrein’s MSW 400/4000 models combine comprehensive
functionality and high future-proofi ng with ease of handling.
The automatic confi guration and well thought-out
mechanical design ensure quick and easy commissioning.
Practical details such as the integral multi-functional fi bre
management box, easily accessible interfaces and the
sealing facility all ensure easier installation.
Users can take advantage of the lowest power consumption
offered for such products. The MSW 400/4000 comfortably
fulfill all EMC regulations also with an optical CATV
receiver included.
The modern design with contemporary colouring and
trendy blue or white LEDs makes the MSW 400/4000 a
real eye-catcher even in the most modern of living rooms.
The MSW 4000 is especially convincing, offering data rates
up to 1 Gbit/s.
Modern design, practical details
Modern design and a matt white housing make the
MSW 400/4000 a real eye-catcher in the living room.
An integrated web server allows confi guration by standard
web browser on a LAN network, e.g. for confi gurations
when changing transponders.
An SNMP agent has been implemented for monitoring
over a network management system (NMS).
The integratable FMB 400 fi bre management box can also
be installed separately - allowing the active optical network
unit to be connected at a later date. All fi bres, splices and
optical connectors can be stowed away securely.
The MSW 400/4000 can also be installed without the fi bre
management box, e.g. if a separate splice box is already
fi tted. In this case the MSW 400/4000 can be wall-mounted
or used as a table-top box. Various attachment options
and removable rubber feet (supplied) cover virtually every
application case.

Fibre-to-the-Home

Fibre-to-the-Home
Plug and play
MSW 400/4000 optical network termination units offer
varied and effi cient management options. Automatic
confi guration is essential for quick and easy commissioning.
When the MSW 400/4000 is switched on, it automatically
identifi es itself to the DHCP and TFTP servers. The unit
then obtains a confi guration fi le via the DHCP option
“67 autoconfi g fi le”; this fi le contains all required specifi ed
settings. In this file all the relevant parameters can be set
individually for each network termination unit - either for
all users or for specifi c users.
This relates specifi cally to the settings for telephony
services, the maximum data rate, or for operation with CATV
receivers. This process runs entirely automatically, so that
a subscriber could even carry out the installation himself.
All settings can be changed at any time from the service
centre. This is done by entering the required changes and
sending them to the respective network units as a new
confi guration fi le.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows
incorporation into other management systems.
In addition, Telnet can also be used.
Video overlay for TV and radio services
Many FTTH networks offer a separate video overlay for
TV and radio services. The advantage being that an
existing CATV infrastructure can be used for transmission.
The optional optical CATV receiver offers the best of
Kathrein’s experience in CATV and HFC technology.
With the lowest input noise on the market, the unit
ensures the best of carrier-to-noise ratios even at very
low optical input levels down to -10 dBm. More
subscribers can be supplied with a given headend optical
output power – ensuring signifi cant saving in system costs.

The MSW 400 V, MSW 400 VC and MSW 400 VCW
are key components within FTTH networks.
Installation is carried out directly in the subscriber’s
apartment. The subscriber will now benefi t from the
complete bandwidth potential of a single optical fi bre.
The MSW 400 can be inserted into an external fi bre
management box, the FMB 400, which is separately
available. Due to modularity, the FMB 400 may be
pre-installed as a single unit to be later easily retrofi tted
with the active unit without the need to undertake
constructional measures. A smaller fi bre management
system is situated inside the MSW 400 to store
excessive lengths.
The MSW 400 can also be operated as a tabletop unit.
Available variants:
The MSW 400 V is equipped with a 100 Mbps switch
which supports Internet, telephony and other data services
such as IPTV.
MSW 400 VC
The MSW 400 VC is additionally equipped with an
analogue optical CATV receiver to enable both analogue
and digital TV services, providing the network operator
with a smooth migration scenario to IPTV.
The MSW 400 VCW not only features an analogue
optical CATV receiver, but also a WDM, which permits
implementation of single-fi bre systems.

TVC 810 bridger amplifi er provides the required high
output level in the coax amplifi er point for the C lines,
with corresponding pre-emphasis and in conformity
with the appropriate KDG specifi cations
To adjust the amplifi er to the different cable topologies,
the slope of the output signal can be set to 16, 19 and
22 dB (111-862 MHz) with an adjustable pre-emphasis
(display on LEDs)
The pre-emphasis can be set on site, either on the
device or via the management system
A diplexer in the output splits up the upstream
and downstream signals
The output signal can be distributed to two outputs,
with an integrated splitter that is connected from the
outside via a cable
Due to an optional 15 MHz high-pass fi lter (factory
default setting) in the return path, the interferences
coming from net level 4 are lowered

DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable modem
with M-Bus for smart metering
TDS 10 26210221
The TDS 10 from Kathrein is a DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 2.0-
compliant cable modem with an integrated M-Bus master
for installation rail mounting.
It is designed to transmit data for remote meter reading.
The TDS 10 automatically identifi es if the protocol is
DOCSIS or EuroDOCSIS allowing easy commissioning
without requiring manual intervention.
The design has been specially optimised for installation in
meter cabinets. The form of the housing and the mounting
material fully meet the requirements for installation rail
mounting components.
The TDS 10 features an M-Bus master and is equipped
with three M-Bus clamps which allow connection of up to
30 M-Bus clients (meters or slaves). The clients are fed
through the M-Bus; polarity is not to be taken into account
when they are connected.
The M-Bus is short-circuit proof.
It is a robust two-wire bus designed for remote reading of
the following reader types:
- Heat meters
- Water meters
- Electricity meters
- Gas meters
The M-Bus can be designed as a tree or star structure.
As a two-wire bus, normal telephone cables or category 5
cables can be used.
TDS 10, installation rail not included in the delivery scope
M-Bus data transport:
The headend queries meter data over the TDS 10 on
TCP-Port 3007. The TDS 10 transacts the commands and
the corresponding M-Bus protocol to the M-Bus over the
serial interface. The received M-Bus data from the
addressed meter is then transmitted back to the headend
over the Ethernet interface (TCP) without interpretation by
the TDS 10.
In co-operation with the respective providers, this new
modem opens the doors to totally new business models
for cable operators.
Remote meter reading over an
existing cable network
Ethernet interface (local service interface)

TDS 10-Eth 26210702
The TDS 10-Eth from Kathrein is an Ethernet M-Bus
interface with an integrated M-Bus master for
installation rail mounting. It is designed to transmit
M-Bus data over Ethernet data networks.
The design has been specially optimised for installation
in installation cabinets. The form of the housing and the
mounting material fully meet the requirements for
installation rail mounting components.
The TDS 10-Eth features an M-Bus master and is
equipped with three M-Bus clamps which allow connection
of up to 30 M-Bus clients (meters or slaves). The clients
are fed through the M-Bus; polarity is not to be taken into
account when they are connected.
The M-Bus is short-circuit proof.
TDS 10-Eth, installation rail not included in the delivery scope
The M-Bus is a robust two-wire bus designed for the
transmission of various different measurement values and
can be arranged as a tree or star structure. As a two-wire
bus normal telephone cable or category 5 cable can be
used.
M-Bus data transport:
The headend queries meter data over the TDS 10-Eth on
TCP-Port 3007. The TDS 10-Eth transacts the commands
and the corresponding M-Bus protocol to the M-Bus over
the serial interface. The received M-Bus data from the
adressed meter is then transmitted back to the headend
over the Ethernet interface (TCP) without interpretation by
the TDS 10-Eth.

IPTV rackmount system
Flexible - versatile - future-proof
Because of their high technical demands, state-of-the-art
interactive media offerings have until now been available
only from very large telecoms suppliers.
The Kathrein IPTV rackmount system now makes the
comprehensive facilities of these systems available to the
users of small local distribution networks - and that includes
HDTV support.
Thanks to its very compact design and mature automatic
self-confi guring server and software, installation of the
modules is child’s play.
Completed systems can easily be installed without
exhaustive system planning and commissioning. Operation
requires hardly any intervention and no highly specialised
operations team on site. Remote access via the Internet
means that service and monitoring can also be handed over
completely to an external service provider. Irrespective of
the location where effi cient distribution of TV, video and
audio content is required, the Kathrein IPTV rackmount
system always offers an appropriate solution.
Here are some selected fi elds of application:
Airports and railway stations
Here, where many people pass through and require
up-to-date information, information must be displayed at
short notice and in different ways in various parts of the
building. The switch between graphical and textual
information display and moving images or TV must be
remotely controllable, and there must be the facility to play
recorded sequences in a loop (such as instructions at the
check-in).
In the fi eld of business, in-store TV may be required at the
point-of-sale. Here, an IPTV system such as the Kathrein
IPTV rackmount system displays its strengths in respect of
fl exibility, formatting of surfaces and segmentation by
function or area of the terminals that are addressed.
Hotel TV and hospitality applications
Nowadays, practically all hotels offer their guests Internet
access. In order to ensure confi dentiality and connection
quality for business customers, in medium and upper class
hotels this includes wired access directly to the room.
New construction and modernisation is the time to think
about the future capability of media provision for guests.
Hotels can offer their guests a very special service with
facilities such as Video-on-Demand (VoD) or timeshift TV.
Even if the business meeting lasted rather longer than
expected, guests need not forgo the programmes they
usually watch, they can simply watch them later.
This includes information and news services and the facility
to integrate the IPTV rackmount system into the hotel‘s
Property Management System (PMS).
Campus and holiday villages
Often a university campus already offers access to a
high-performance IT network. Thanks to the fl exibility of
the Kathrein IPTV rackmount system, the media offering
can in addition easily be updated.
This is useful also for holiday villages, which are similar
to hotels in this respect; tourist information and seasonal
changes to facilities can be presented in a variety of media
with information offerings.
Premium Living
In various types of accommodation for the upper classes,
such as cruise liners or yachts, nowadays exclusive access
to functions such as timeshift TV and videos on demand in
high resolution is expected. The Kathrein IPTV rackmount
system offers a professional solution to deliver these
facilities. It ranges from sounds from the MP3 music library
to video images from various surveillance cameras –
everything can be called up individually for each room
or cabin by remote control.
Conference centres, public buildings, multi-screen
cinemas, digital signage
As at airports, here too the requirement is for fl exibility to
allow frequent or regular changes of use; fl ows of visitors
must be directed and informed about events or offerings
that are starting or in progress. Here a Kathrein IPTV
rackmount system acts as the heart of IP based TV signal
provision, with appropriate graphical user interfaces for the
necessary fl exibility and control.

IPTV rackmount system
Business TV, banks & trading rooms,
editorial and broadcasting stations
Do your employees require the most up-to-date
information directly at their workplace, by mouse click if
possible? The “Desktop-Media-Client” is a video
application for PCs, for which neither a second screen nor
parallel cabling are necessary.
Whether news broadcasters need the latest stock
market news or to preview contributions sent in from
external sources, whether live or from a central server:
Each sequence and each contribution can then be called
up across the company by every workplace that has the
authorisation to do so.
Wide range of multi-media functions
Live streaming of video and audio content
Live streaming allows IP-based TV and radio programmes
to be selected and consumed via a data network, using a
channel list, just like conventional channel processing systems.
A graphical user guide, together with an EPG (Electronic
Programme Guide) and very fast Teletext, further
increases the operator convenience (from version LIV).
Audio-on-Demand
The functions are comparable with those of a modern
MP3 player: Selection of the title by genre or interpret are
only some of the known options that provide for the needs
of the user.
Video recorder (nPVR)
The video recorder function is implemented on the server
for each individual user, and thus can be freely sized for
the individual recording duration. It can subsequently be
played back on the terminal without intervention.
Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)
A clearly-structured EPG matrix provides information on
current, future and past programmes - the detail view
gives extended EPG information. The EPG matrix allows
timeshift TV channels to be called up and TV recordings
to be scheduled and programmed. The entire user
interface can be customised to the client’s wishes.
Video-on-Demand (VoD)
This offers a video library from which the user can select
fi lms for display directly on the screen and play them
“on demand” at the press of a button. Waiting times or
fi xed start times are a thing of the past. Individual and
spontaneous entertainment is no longer an obstacle.
Additional revenues can be generated.
Timeshift TV
Time is no longer an issue. Broadcasts currently in
progress can simply be paused and restarted later.
Or just rewind within the programme:
Depending on capacity, up to 27 hours.

IPTV rackmount system
Flexible - versatile - future-proof
The application areas for a low-cost compact IPTV
head-end are today very diverse, and the Kathrein IPTV
rackmount system has the flexibility to match these
individual application areas.
Thanks to its integrated structure, the Kathrein IPTV
rackmount system on the one hand covers a wide range
of application areas, and on the other hand however also
permits incremental extension with new functions as new
demands emerge.
An entry-level basic offering of TV channels can for
instance later be extended to further channel categories,
and then step-by-step to non-linear services such as
timeshift TV, videos or music on demand and interactive
services can be added. All this by means simply of
software upgrades, without modifi cations to the network
or the reception devices for the guest or customer.
The high fl exibility of the Kathrein IPTV rackmount system
permits operation of different user interfaces or services to
specifi c groups of set-top boxes/TV sets. There is even
the facility to direct customer-specifi c services or interfaces
individually to each TV set. Within an airport for instance
guests at the airport hotel may be provided with interactive
services such as timeshift or video-on-demand which the
guests can select themselves.
For example: Application in an airport. One system provides different
services to the hotel and terminal areas.
In the terminal area the TV sets in the waiting areas can
be provided with TV programmes, whilst fl ight information
is displayed at the check-in. All this is controlled centrally
by an administrator.
The four configurations
1. IPTV rackmount streamer (“STR”)
This confi guration offers streaming of up to 100 TV and
radio channels by multicast. All streaming-capable IPTV
set-top boxes can be used for reception. IPTV set-top
boxes from Kathrein are already set up to offer an
automatically generated channel list for easy channel
selection. The number of set-top boxes that can be
connected under this confi guration is unlimited.
Subsequent software upgrades to other confi gurations
can be performed at any time (having regard to the
maximal numbers of subscribers then permissible).
2. IPTV rackmount live IPC-SET live (“LIV”)
This confi guration offers all state-of-the-art convenience
features such as a graphical operating interface and a
simple to use electronic programme guide (EPG), which
supports automatic updating of the programme data.
In addition, the lightning-fast Teletext offers all the
advantages of the most modern server technology:
The storage and continuous updating of all programme data
and Teletext pages in the Kathrein IPTV rackmount system
ensures their immediate availability to the TV user at the
push of a button on the remote control, without a long
loading time. Up to 500 subscribers (set-top boxes) can be
connected.
3. IPTV rackmount IPC SET Video-on-Demand (“VOD”)
This confi guration contains an “on demand” function,
which allows fi lms, videos and music titles to be called up
individually (approx. 300 to 400 hours at standard
resolution). Hotels, hospitals and holiday villages can
use this service to generate additional income.
Licences for 100, 200 and 500 subscribers are available.
4. IPTV rackmount IPC-SET Premium (“PRE”)
In addition to the functions described above, this
confi guration offers a timeshift function.
Up to 40 channels can be buffered simultaneously for
up to 27 hours, and thus made available to users for
timeshifted viewing *.
Within the buffer time the user can “rewind” and “fast
forward” the programme as much as he likes, view
interesting sections multiple times or just pause the
programme. In addition there is the facility to set up a
network-based video recorder (nPVR) for subscribers.
Using his individual user interface the subscriber can
record and replay any programmes he likes. The storage
is performed centrally on the server. For this purpose each
subscriber can be assigned a certain storage capacity in
hours.
* Please familiarise yourself with the copyright provisions of the respective
channel providers

Multi-media capable building distribution
Architecture of a modern house
distribution network
The various apartments or rooms
(1–6) of a building can be supplied
in a star shape from one central site.
This is usually where the house
transfer point (HTP), the house
connection amplifi er (HCA) and
taps or splitters for signal splitting
are to be found.
The house transfer point, as an
interface between the line network
(network level NL 3) and the house
distribution network (NL 4) is the
starting point for distribution
throughout the building.
A modern house distribution
network should be mainly
constructed in a star structure.
The creation of a tree structure for
several living units is considered
obsolete and is thus not
recommended for multimediacompliant
systems.
Optimum function of components can ensure perfect
operation of the multimedia services only if the house
distribution network has been planned by a specialist
who has taken the points above into account.
Star distribution to every outlet
Every outlet in a building is supplied via a separate
cable from the distribution point (central star structure).
The necessary decoupling between outlets is achieved due
to the directional attenuation of the taps. Modem outlets that
prevent the individual services interfering with each other
are to be installed for connecting cable modems or similar.
Single connections are to be used.
Star distribution to every apartment
If a central star structure is not possible inside an
apartment, outlets may also be installed in a tree structure.
With this type of structure, only one line per apartment is
required to the distribution point, even if several outlets
have been installed.
Directional coupler outlets (loop-through outlets) must be
used in these cases.
Because of the high connection and directional loss of
these outlets, the signal can be split downstream of the
house connection amplifi er with splitters. However, please
bear in mind that the tree structure should only be used
inside the apartment. Extension of the structure to further
apartments is not advisable for the reasons mentioned
above.
The requirements of the respective network provider
must by all means be taken into account when planning
a house distribution network.
Distribution systems should generally be designed
according to the current series of standards EN 50173
(application-neutral communication cablings for
information technology).
The future-proof structuring of cabling simplifi es the
maintenance and service of house distribution networks,
increases the reliability of the network, enables the
application of future technologies and is thus a positive
contribution to real estate value retention been installed.

Mast calculation method to EN 60728-11
The bending moment affects the
mast on the upper fixing point for
all antennas.
The wind load on the mast must
be included in the calculation.
The overall bending moment is
not to exceed the maximum permitted
bending moment of the mast and must
not be greater than 1,650 Nm.
If the bending moment is greater,
a static engineer is required to provide
verifi cation of the transfer of forces into
the structure of the building.
Wind load values
The stated values are based on a
dynamic pressure of 800 N/m 2 .
A dynamic pressure of 800 N/m 2
corresponds to a wind speed of 36 m/s
or approx. 130 km/h i.e. wind force 12.
When installed greater than 20 m
above ground, a dynamic pressure
of 1,100 N/m 2 must be applied.
A dynamic pressure of 1,100 N/m 2
corresponds to a wind speed of 42 m/s
or 150 km/h.
Conversion factor:
Wind load (1,100 N/m 2 ) =
Windlast (800 N/m 2 ) x 1,37
Unless otherwise stated, a maximum
permissible wind speed of 150 km/h
applies to the antennas.

General safety information on selecting the installation location for antennas:
Kathrein antennas are designed according to the specifi cations of EN 60728, part 11 and
fulfi l these requirements.
When selecting the installation site, take into account the structural features of the building
(e.g. susceptibility to oscillation, roof characteristics, installation on cylindrical structures),
which could lead to increased wind loads according to DIN 1055, part 4/2005-03 or
DIN 4131.
The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure can mutually infl uence each
other and cause detrimental changes.

Optical components
■ General
The same terminology is used for the optical taps (BOC xxx) and optical splitters (BOV xxx) and for the electrical CATV taps
and splitters.
The terms refer to the optical power in the fi bre. The values are given in decibels (dB) as they are for the CATV components as
well. The absolute optical power in the fi bre is specifi ed in “dBm”.
■ Particularities
The data given for the optical splitters and optical taps is generally dependent on the optical wave length.
When selecting components, it is important to ensure that the wave length of the transmitting elements matches the wave length
range of the optical taps and splitters.
This is especially important for products to be used in CWDM systems, in which very wide bandwidths are required.
The optical splitters (BOV xxx) are additionally labelled “CWDM”.
Tap/Splitter
Insertion loss
Attenuation between input “E” and output “A”.
For splitters between input “E” and outputs “A”.

Isolation
Attenuation between two tap-offs “Ab”.
For splitters between the outputs “A”.
Return loss
Attenuation of a refl ected signal “R” compared with
the signal in the forward direction “V”.
The data provided for the individual products only applies if all outputs are terminated.

■ Wave-length multiplexers
Wave-length multiplexers and demultiplexers fi nd their CATV equivalent in diplexers and fi lters. Just like these, they diplex
frequency ranges or allow these to be multiplexed together. The optical frequencies are located in the Terahertz range and are
generally in “nm”. The optical fi lter or optical diplexer is generally termed a multiplexer.
In general, one differentiates between three types of wave-length multiplexers:
1. WDM, which diplex the wave-length ranges 1,310 nm and 1,550 nm.
Mode of operation of a WDM for 1,310/1,550 nm:

2. CWDM Coarse WDM
This technology currently allows one to diplex or multiplex 18 wave lengths in a 20 nm channel plan, whereby eight of these
channels will be available for practical use. The CWDM wave lengths and CWDM channel grid are standardised according to
ITU G.694.2. HFC return paths are often realised in CWDM technology in order to transport various return paths to the headend
on a single fi bre in a cost-effi cient way and to split up existing clusters.

An ideal multiplexer could in fact also be operated as a demultiplexer as their components are reciprocal.
However, due to real conditions, the non-ideal characteristics lead to one having to use components that are optimised and
purpose adapted. The following characteristics have to be taken into account when optical multiplexers are used:
Port isolation - this is normally much lower in multiplexers than in demultiplexers.
Infl uence of the “optical frequency response” on the through loss of individual wave lengths.
The “optical slope” is compensated over the combination Mux/DeMux.

3. DWDM (Dense WDM)
DWDM is standardised in ITU G.694.1 and is normally applied in purely digital systems. In the HFC fi eld, DWDM is used to
insert cluster-specifi c content (narrowcast) in the downstream broadcast-signal fi bre. The optical downstream receiver thus
receives a broadcast wave length as well as a narrowcast wave length and then generates a broadcast signal containing both
contents. The optical coupling must be calculated very carefully in order to guarantee a high signal quality for the broadcast
signal. System design is diffi cult.
DWDM channels are situated very close to one another (channel spacing: < 1 nm). DWDM channel spacing is normally specifi
ed in Gigahertz (GHz) (e.g. 200 GHz, 100 GHz, 50 GHz).

Catalogue data
1. Impedance
The technical values provided in this catalogue apply to an impedance of 75 Ω, unless stated otherwise.
2. Gain values
The gain values for terrestrial antennas refer to the dipole. For terrestrial antenna gain values that refer to the isotropic
radiator, the following applies: catalogue value + 2.15 dB.
The gain values for parabolic antennas refer to the isotropic radiator.
3. Wind load values
The stated values are based on a dynamic pressure of 800 N/m 2 .
A dynamic pressure of 800 N/m 2 corresponds to a wind speed of 36 m/s or approximately 130 km/h, i.e. wind force 12.
When installed higher than 20 m above the ground, a dynamic pressure of 1,100 N/m 2 is to be applied.
A dynamic pressure of 1,100 N/m 2 corresponds to a wind force of 42 m/s or approximately 150 km/h.
,
Conversion factor: Wind load (1,100 N/m 2 ) = Wind load (800 N/m 2 ) x 1.37
Unless otherwise stated, a maximum permissible wind speed of 150 km/h applies for the antennas.

Planning and installation instructions
1. Mast calculation
The calculated values for the mechanical stability of the antenna components (wind loads and bending moments)
correspond with EN 60728-11.
When selecting the installation site, structural building features are to be taken into account (e.g. susceptibility to
oscillation, installation on roof or building edges, installation on cylindrical structures) which could lead to increased
wind loads according to DIN 1055, part 4/2005-03 or DIN 4131. The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure
can mutually infl uence each other and cause detrimental changes.
2. Maximum operating level
The maximum operating level for range/multi-range amplifi ers for community systems with a maximum of 12 TV channels
is dependent on the catalogue value for the maximum output level and the number of transmission channels.
The maximum operating level is the smaller of the two following values:
a) Output level for 66 dB XMod minus the level reduction
or
b) Output level for 60 dB 2 nd order IMod (only applies to amplifi ers with interference signal immunity in the FM range)
Output level reduction
If more than two channels (up to max. 12 channels) are transmitted, the output level is to be reduced according to the table
below.
If the FM channels are transmitted at a level that is approximately 10 dB lower than the TV level, these can be left unconsidered.
If the levels are the same, they should be counted like TV channels.
Level reduction is only to be performed in the output level values for 60 dB or 66 dB XMod.
The output levels for 60 dB signal-to-noise ratio 2 nd order do not have to be reduced.

1,000-2,000 75 65
2,000-3,000 65 55
4. Signal-to-noise ratio/noise figure
The signal-to-noise ratio is the difference between the level of the useful signal and the noise level.
The noise fi gure indicates by how many dB an amplifi er additionally reduces the signal-to-noise ratio.
The noise level on a 75 Ω resistor, in reference to the bandwidth of a TV channel (5 MHz), is 2 dBμV.
Signal-to-noise ratio = Level on amplifier input - noise figure - 2 dBμV
Example calculation:
Antenna level = 50 dBμV, noise fi gure = 4 dB
► Signal-to-noise ratio = 50 dBμV - 4 dB - 2 dBμV = 44 dB
5. Signal-to-noise ratio, picture quality
Signal-to-noise ratio Over 46 dB 37 dB 30 dB Below 26 dB
Noise Noise-free Visible, but does not interfere Clearly visible, annoying Noise predominates
Picture quality Very good Good Poor Useless
