Power budget
The MD-63B is designed to be used with Manchester coded protocols. This means that the
power budget varies depending on the number of preamble bits in the protocol. Preamble
bits are transmitted before the actual data and are used in order to synchronise the receivers
in the network. (see figure below)
The MD-63B uses these preamble bits as well to stabilise its receiver. This does mean that
a 10% distortion is applied to the preamble bits through the MD-63B. The diagrams show
the available power budget dependent on number of preamble bits. Please be aware that we
are quoting minimum guaranteed power budget. Experience has shown that the typical values
will be 4dBm higher for 820nm, 3.5dBm
higher for 1300nm and 6dBm higher
for single mode.
