Overview The Pro-line system is the newest member of MRC’s analog and digital products. The Pro-Line can be configured as a single or dual carrier microwave system for high-performance short-haul applications. The single carrier version can be be configured as analog or digital. The system is designed to deliver broadcast-quality digital signals in the 17.7 to 19.7 and 21.2 to 23.6 GHz frequency bands. The Pro-Line series radio offers a wide varity of configurations and capacity by utilizing MRC's or QM2, QV2, or Variable Rate Modem (VRM). The adoption of the VRM allows the system design engineer to select the most robust modulation, depending on customer needs. In many cases link budget requirements are more easily met with this approach versus costly options employing high power and or diversity solutions. This platform supports modulation rates from QPSK to 64QAM. The flexibilty is ideal in areas where frequency spectrum is at a premium, or for users who need to expand data thruput, yet are restricted within a specified assigned bandwidth.
Pro–Line Radio with MRC Variable Rate Modem
The Pro-Line offers a unique and cost effective solution for any short haul application whether it is an analog only or digital high capacity platform capable of up to 90 Mbps. The sytem can be configured to carry simultaneous analog NTSC/PAL (with up to 4 audio sub-carriers), and a digital signal within the same RF channel capable of carrying up to 45 Mbps (DS3).
