The Ortel System 8003 is a 2:1 fibre-optic RF receiver system covering the 5.8-6.5GHz extended C-band range, converting an optical RF-over-fibre signal back to coaxial RF for delivery to onward ground station equipment such as an upconverter or exciter. It pairs with a matching Ortel fibre transmitter such as the System 8002, forming a complete optical RF link that carries extended C-band signals over single-mode fibre between an antenna site and a remote equipment room, with the 2:1 configuration handling dual sources or providing input redundancy. Ortel (later part of Emcore) built a well-regarded line of RF-over-fibre transmitter and receiver systems used across satellite teleports and broadcast uplink facilities where coaxial cable runs would otherwise be impractical. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks tested Ortel System 8003 receiver systems. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your existing fibre transmitter.
