RF Signal Management
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.
