2 Forward and Reverse Path Equalizers RF signals, especially those over wide bandwidths, experience a change of slope when passed through a physical medium such as coaxial cable. The losses are greater at high frequencies than at low frequencies, thus causing a sloped response through an RF system. Technicians install equalizers in the RF amplifiers to account for this phenomenon, creating a flat response prior to the amplifier s gain blocks and improving distortions. Equalizers are available for both forward and reverse paths across the operating frequency range of the intended path. Forward path equalization occurs prior to the input gain block and, in some cases, in between gain stations to support various applications. Because SDA and ALX amplifiers have built-in slope, a minimum amount of cable is required between amplifiers to guarantee a flat input into the input hybrid. Too little cable between amplifiers can cause an input with a positive slope into the second amplifier (the signal levels at the high end of the frequency range will be higher than the signal levels at the low end of the frequency range). Cable equivalent equalizers are available to correct this condition but could greatly reduce the available gain at high frequencies. The slope column denotes the difference of output level between two specified frequencies, typically at opposite ends of the amplifier s bandwidth. An equalizer is located ahead of the twodistribution hybrids to provide additional slope at the bridger outputs compared to the trunk output. Page 2 of 36

26 DSIM Digital Station Intelligence Manager The ACI Digital Station Intelligence Manager (DSIM) is a next generation gain control module with comprehensive yet extremely cost effective local station diagnostics on board. In the DSIM AGC module the gain control function allows for any QAM or analog carrier from channels 52 to 142 to be selected as pilot or can be set to operate in the thermal AGC mode with 9, 18 and 27 db of cable. The DSIM controller is used to set the DSIM module s pilot channel and to change into the different operational modes during the amplifier setup. The bi-colored blue and red LED indicator's blinking patterns will denote the current optional mode setting. The DSIM AGC modules are simple to use, reliable, power efficient, cost effective, and an augmentation to the OSP maintenance team s maximum uptime program. The ACI DSIM is the perfect choice for coaxial plant life extensions for the next decade of all-digital services. ACI DSIM Features: DSIM is self-calibrating and auto aligning. Proper control loop levels are set internally by microcontroller. The tech is notified by LED indicator when alignment is complete Up to 40 days of data can be downloaded with either Windows, Apple or Android based products and contains enough detail and ease of readability to take the guesswork out of analysis. For aerial installations the DSIM may also be set into the thermal AGC mode with cable sections of 9, 18 and 27 db. The on-board intelligence of the DSIM keeps the station gain on target even during abnormal events, such as loss of pilot and upon return from power outages. In the event that the pilot is lost the DSIM will change into the thermal AGC mode, and then once the pilot is recovered will automatically change back into the SPAGC mode of operation. 9 db wide gain control range and 6 MHz center frequency bandwidth Pilot frequency settings can be reprogrammed as needed with the use of the key coded controller Pilot modulation types: QAM, NTSC analog or CW (set by controller) The DSIM AGC module furnishes the outside plant maintenance team with an on-board diagnostic tool set unprecedented in the industry.

Android or Apple ios Bluetooth Dongle: P/N DSIM-DONGLE-02 DSMC Software The DSMC is a software program that can be used on a laptop for setting up the DSIM AGC modules. It can also be used to view the DSIM settings and performance data in real time or up to 40 days of stored data can be downloaded from the from the DSIM module into the laptop's memory for analysis. ACI offers a cable assembly P/N that makes the connection from the laptop to the DSIM module. Software Program: P/N DSMC PC Interface cable assembly: P/N Page 29 of 36

30 DSIM Interface Cable On the DSIM-GI, JD, SG, SS, CC, CF, AF & MV modules an interface cable assembly is needed to make the connection to the DSIM module through the small opening in the RF module cover. This interface cable assembly is required to use all the DSIM accessories, controller, Bluetooth dongle for the table tablet and DSMC laptop interface cable assembly. P/N DSIM-GI AGC module with Interface cable attached to the DSIM controller Manual Gain Control Units SDA amplifiers can function as manual gain control units by installing an AGC bypass instead of the automatic control module. The amplifier s plug-in attenuator pads and equalizers control the amplifier s output levels with an obvious reduction in level stability over temperature. NOTE: For correct operation of the station, the bandwidth of the AGC bypass must match the upper forward bandwidth of the station. AGC Bypass for 750, 870 or 900 MHz SDA & ALX stations Part Number: AGC Bypass for 1002 MHz SDA stations Part Number: AGC-BYPASS-1G Page 30 of 36

31 General Accessories and Tools RF 5/8 port plug Part number: H5/8PLUG All unused RF output ports must have a 5/8 port plug installed to ensure a weather-tight seal of the housing. Port dielectric insert Part number: The active RF output ports use a dielectric insert to accept pin connectors. Seizure connector (15 Amp) Part number: Seizure connector (10 Amp) Part number: Test adapter for test probe Part number: ACI offers a test probe adapter that allows measurement of the RF levels at the seizure screw via the standard test point RF probe helpful for troubleshooting RF input levels.

32 RF probe for test points 1.57 Long Part number: TP-7504 Coaxial test points allow technicians to measure the signal strength while connected in the system. The test points are coupled from the main signal path via a -20 db coupler and each test point loss is verified to be within a stated tolerance. This allows very accurate measurement of the signal level at various locations in the station. RF probe for test points 5.5 Long Part number: Coaxial test points allow technicians to measure the signal strength while connected in the system. The test points are coupled from the main signal path via a -20 db coupler and each test point loss is verified to be within a stated tolerance. This allows very accurate measurement of the signal level at various locations in the station. Test point cable through housing Part number: The test point through the housing cable assembly allows any of the SDA or ALX amplifier s RF test points to be accessed from outside the amplifier housing. Technicians can use this cable to measure ingress in the forward and reverse paths by allowing the signal monitoring on a unit with the housing secured tightly and more accurately representing the amplifier s intended operating environment. Equalizer puller Part number: ACI offers an equalizer puller tool that simplifies the installation and extraction of the equalizers from the amplifier. This tool also prevents the equalizer pins from being bent or broken during the installation and extraction. This tool will give you better control with a larger griping surface area and view of the equalizer because your hand will not be in the way when the equalizer is installed or extracted.

34 Reverse rejection 8 & 14 MHz filters (SDA 1002 MHz, ACION 1002 and ACION 3422 only) Ingress noise represents one of the major disturbances that affect upstream data transmission in broadband networks. The reverse noise rejection 8 MHz filter suppresses signals below 8 MHz with at least 30 db of attenuation and passes signals above 13 MHz with minimal insertion loss. The 14 MHz filter suppresses signals below 14 MHz with at least 30 db of attenuation and passes signals above 20 MHz with minimal insertion loss. The noise rejection filters prevents narrowband AM modulation carries, such as short-wave radio signals, and any other interference from being introduced into the reverse path via an external source. Managing ingress noise in the upstream plant is crucial for data carrier performance, especially in broadband networks in which the reverse path is increasingly used for advanced services including video on demand and voice over IP. The reverse noise rejection 8 MHz or 14 MHz filter is a simple small plug-in that is a vital component for implementing these types services. 14 MHz Reverse rejection filter P/N RPRFLTR-14 8 MHz Reverse rejection filter P/N RPRFLTR-8 Reverse rejection filter bypass P/N: RPRFLTR-JMP Pass Band Stop Band RPRFLTR-8 RPRFLTR-14 Bandwidth, MHz Insertion Loss, db (MIN) MHz - Insertion Loss, db (MIN) MHz MHz Input Return Loss, db -18 (MAX) -18 (MAX) Output Return Loss, db -18 (MAX) -18 (MAX) Bandwidth, MHz Attenuation, db -30 (MAX) -30 (MAX) Page 34 of 36
