SG4000 Installation and Operation Manual
Bandpass Frequency
The SG4000 modular optical node is only available in a forward bandpass frequency of 1 GHz. If
you are deploying the SG4000 in a system with less than 1 GHz, refer to Figure 2-8 to determine
the tilt at the appropriate frequency. For example, the standard node slope of 14.5 dB at 1 GHz
equates to 12.5 dB at 870 MHz.
Figure 2-8 illustrates the tilt selection chart for 1 GHz bandwidth.

Station Slope
The SG4000 is configured in three standard station slopes, as illustrated in Figure 2-8. The
slope is defined as a straight line from F
fwdmin
(minimum forward frequency) to 1 GHz. The total
station slope is a combination of (1) the receiver output, (2) the forward configuration board, and
(3) the SG4-RF module, along with (4) port entry board slope. Modules measured apart from the
station may not represent the entire station tilt.
Station slopes include:

The SG4-R* receivers use a Linear Midstage Equalizer (LME) to generate slope that is common
to all of the SG4-RF modules attached to that particular receiver. The SG4-RF modules contain
a Flatness/Slope Board (FSB).
