3 Overview

3.1 FRAS overview

3.1.1 Product description

The Analog Forward Path Receiver - Standard (FRAS) is designed to plug into the latest generation Advanced Intelligent

Multi-services Access platform - the AIMA3000.

The FRAS is available in single and dual port conﬁgurations. It incorporates a low noise front-end circuit that receives

optical wavelengths from 1260 nm to 1620 nm and converts them into RF signals for Master Antenna Television (MATV),

CATV, and broadband applications. The supported RF bandwidth is from 45 to 1218 MHz.

The module oers a superior frequency response with a low distortion proﬁle and low noise characteristics.

The FRAS optical receiver module features automatic gain control (AGC), which is based on broadband detection or

through optional pilot signal detection.

The RF output AGC threshold level and the slope can be managed remotely.

3.1.2 Product Key Features

■Plug-and-play AIMA3000 platform module

■Superior performance with a low noise proﬁle and minimal distortion characteristics

■High RF output for ﬂexible deployment

■Supports Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for a stable RF output

■Electronic slope control

■Electronic gain setting and AGC adjustable thresholds

■Broadband GaAs ampliﬁer technology

■Support for CENELEC and NTSC standards up to 110 channels (analog and digital)

■Comprehensive status monitoring and alarm with the NMS network management software

■HMS compliant

■Remote ﬁrmware upgrade and auto upload/download of conﬁguration ﬁles through ASMM web interface or using

the NMSE

■Bulk ﬁrmware updates through the NMSE

■FCC, CE and RCM(1) compliant

(1) See Declaration of Conformity for current status.
