1. GENERALITIES
General description
The Alspa PLC 1790B equipment bases its function on the use
of DSP
(Digital signal processor), either for the AF and HF signals
elaboration while the inputs/outputs are still analog.
Frequencies transposition is based on SSB modulation
principle with attenuated and calibrated carrier transmitted on
line.
The use of DSP improves the performance of the equipment in
terms of quality, service and flexibility, reducing meantime the
cost and the maintenance operations as well as the hardware
volume.
The operator, using a standard personal computer, can easily
customize the equipment and performs tests either on-line or
off-line from one end of the link.
