What is the CATV Line Amplifier?

What is the CATV Line Amplifier

Function introduction

When the communication signal or the TV signal is transmitted within a certain distance in the coaxial cable, for example, after 100 meters, the signal is obviously attenuated, and when the power becomes low and cannot meet the requirements, a signal amplifying device is needed. This device is called CATV LINE Amplifier or trunk Amplifier. Before we buy a trunk amplifier, we should first understand the details of this trunk amplifier and the trunk amplifier, because the range of signals amplified by different specifications is different. Next,

Product experts James Xu from zion communication king-tone electronic company, Mr. James Xu will give a detailed introduction.

HOW IT WORKS

This is a typical amplifier design as shown in the below.


CATV Line Amplifier 1


When we check this design, we must ask why a CATV Amplifier Undergoes Stage 2 Attenuation, Equalization, and amplification? Why twice?

I explain each function as follows:

Input attenuation -> system operator adjusts input signal strength

Input Equalization -> System Operator Adjusts Input Signal Slope

Preamplifier -> Amplifier front very low noise amplification

Interstage attenuation -> Manufacturer adjusts internal signal strength

Interstage Equalization -> Manufacturer Adjusts Internal Signal Slope

Main amplification -> Amplifier rear high efficiency amplification

Why attenuation then amplify, the purpose is to adjust the amplifier to the best state.

The second amplification is to give the amplifier enough gain without distortion.

Explain the key words:

CMTS:Cable modem termination system.

A cable modem termination system or CMTS is a piece of equipment, typically located in a cable company'sheadend or hubsite, which is used to provide high speed data services, such as cable Internet or Voice over Internet Protocol , to cable subscribers . A CMTS provides many of the same functions provided by the DSLAM in a DSLsystem.

DOCSIS3.0:Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification

is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access (seecable Internet ) over their existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. The version numbers are sometimes prefixed with simply "D" instead of "DOCSIS" (e.g. D3 for DOCSIS 3).

ATT:Attenuation

In electrical engineering and telecommunications , attenuation affects the propagation of waves and signals inelectrical circuits , in optical fibers , and in air. Electrical attenuators and optical attenuators are commonly manufactured components in this field.

EQ:Equalization

Equalization (communications) , specific to communications systems

FZ110;-30DB&-20DB. FP204;-28DB&-28DB: Push–pull output

A push–pull amplifier is a type of electronic circuit that uses a pair of active devices that alternately supply current to, or absorb current from, a connected load. Push–pull outputs are present in TTL and CMOS digital logic circuitsand in some types of amplifiers , and are usually realized as a complementary pair of transistors , one dissipating or sinking current from the load to ground or a negative power supply, and the other supplying or sourcing current to the load from a positive power supply.

RF:Radio Frequency

GND:

The GND on the circuit board represents Ground or 0-wire. GND means the public end, or earth, but it is not land in the true sense of the word. A ground is a ground assumed for an application and, in the case of a power supply, it is a negative pole of a power supply. It's different from the earth. Sometimes it needs to be connected to the earth, and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the situation.
