Abstract
The paper deals with HFC CATV systems. System parameters determinative in obtaining the desired carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) and acceptable nonlinear distortions are considered. Formulae for the gain and the maximum number of RF amplifiers in the longest coaxial trunk line are developed. A mathematical model of the optical channel is suggested that makes it possible for the signal minimum level at the optical receiver input to be calculated if the value of CNR and the number of TV channels transmitted are known. Analytical expressions to determine the RF signal voltage in the input and output of the optical line are given that take into consideration the nonlinear distortions in the laser transmitter, the number of TV channels and the losses within the optical fiber and passive elements. Experimental results are given to illustrate the application of the formulae in the design of a HFS system section.
