With over 100 global patents filed, nearly 40 U.S. patents already issued carrying nearly 1,000 granted inventions (claims), MagnaCom is now a recognized technology innovation powerhouse. [See MagnaCom issued US Patents.] MagnaCom is creating a scalable platform for next-generation networks based on WAM – an innovative multi-dimensional non-linear modulation. WAM allows for much more data to be transmitted over the same amount of spectrum, resulting in networks that are far more resilient, transmit data at higher speeds, farther distance and consume less power. By enabling much more capacity over the same channels, WAM can save global operators billions of dollars in spectrum licensing cost and network upgrades. Learn more about WAM technology.

“It means that about 70% of your cable modems will be able to achieve 1 Gig QAM without doing any changes in the network,” Hamzeh added.

A satellite will have a higher data bandwidth than a cell tower because the spectrum division needed for cell towers can be avoided with satellites

The problem was that once I changed my camera to 60p the picture was there on the Cine 7 TX, but I couldn’t get a picture on the Focus 7 Bolt 500 RX.

One traditional approach for the variable attenuator uses PIN diodes, whose RF resistance can be continuously controlled over a wide range by a DC bias current. PIN diodes are specifically intended for this problem and are available from multiple vendors at reasonable cost. The use of multiple PIN diodes can lead to an attenuator with >30-dB RF control range and good distortion and dynamic gain flatness characteristics. The alternative to PIN diodes is to use a FET as the variable resistor element. FETs are used in very high volume as switching elements, but can also be used in a continuously variable attenuator. FETs can make very consistent on/off switches with impressively low distortion; however, distortion inconsistency in the middle of their resistance range becomes a challenge for device fabricators and circuit designers. In addition, FET attenuators can struggle to simultaneously achieve both wide attenuation range and the consistent performance so critical for optical AGC. The clear advantage of FET attenuators, however, is that they offer the possibility of a lower cost, single die design.Forward thinking Simple manual approaches for gain control used in previous optical AM-VSB deployments may not suit tomorrow’s networks. An automatic gain adjustment routine promises reduced installation and maintenance costs. As fiber moves closer to the subscriber, the importance of how gain control is implemented in the ONT receiver becomes increasingly relevant in the quest for lower overall costs. A forward-thinking AGC approach that accommodates a growing optical input range as well as analog and digital content types will help operators benefit from their FTTH investment over a longer time horizon. RF AGC can provide clear advantages in performance and cost when operators want to increase their optical input windows for ease of installation and system design.Chris Day is technical director of CATV/FTTH product solutions at TriQuint Semiconductor.

Well, as I said, you don’t appear to have actually looked into it much, or don’t understand it. The theory is sound, the proof will be in if they can back it up once it goes live. Considering all the other projects that have basically done what they say they were going to do, I’m not willing to bet against it, that’s for sure.

At least band together in that small town and let the local ISP monopoly and your local congressional critter know that you’re pissed at the lack of competition.

Jim Andrews, KH6HTV FIRST STEPS IN THE REAL OF ZEROS AND ONES TV“I’d always had an interest in TV,” Andrews said. “And as the whole industry was transitioning to digital [back in the 1990s], I knew that amateurs needed to keep up with what was going on.

Then there is video DSL (VDSL). Designed to carry compressed digital video for HDTV, it achieves even higher rates by using more of the cable bandwidth and further restricting its length. There are multiple versions including VDSL2 with a variety of specifications.

In use, it sounds smooth across a wide range of settings, and high Resonance settings result in meaty boosts up to a satisfying ‘howl’. The 12dB/oct design is obviously a little smoother and less intrusive than 24dB/oct designs, and we’d have loved another mode for deeper filtering tasks, but that may be too much to ask for at this price point.
