Fiber Optics

Posted on April 28, 2010

Idea.

Wish to mount the Part 15 transmitter in a weather proof box in a small room underneath a porch. This will keep the transmitter available for easy approach and adjustment from indoors.

Idea.

Wish to mount the Part 15 transmitter in a weather proof box in a small room underneath a porch. This will keep the transmitter available for easy approach and adjustment from indoors.

Wish to mount the ten-foot pipe antenna on a tripod tower located outdoors about 30-feet from the porch. Obviously the contact between transmitter and pipe antenna could not be done with ordinary lead-in or coax because the Rules specifically disallow such length.

However it seems to me that a 1:1 fiber optic method would allow the transmitter output to reach the antenna without violating the rules.

Elsewhere on this website the only related reference to such an idea is found here

part15.us/files.p15/LPBcarriercurrentdesigntechnote2.doc

LPB describes using fiber optic for RF distribution in a carrier current system.

Comments are welcome.
