Radio over Fiber — Single-antenna emitter box

One HF emitter,
one distant antenna, one built-in amp.

The AFB-350 is a Radio-over-Fiber emitter box designed to drive a remote transmit antenna from the control room. Built-in 500 mW amplifier on a single carrier, −113 dBm/Hz noise density, built-in SWR indicator, XLR4 12 V power. 100 MHz – 1 GHz band. Ruggedised for live. Made in France.

Highlights

Standalone fiber emitter

One optical input → internal amp stage → one transmit antenna. The AFB-350 replaces a long coax run between control-room rack and distant antenna.

Fiber → amp → antenna

500 mW output

Built-in amp delivering 27 dBm on a single carrier. Two simultaneous carriers: 100 mW each while staying clean. Four carriers: reduce power accordingly.

1c → 500 mW · 2c → 100 mW

Built-in SWR indicator

One glance at the front panel confirms the antenna is properly matched. No need for an external analyzer to detect a crushed cable or a dirty connector.

Use cases

Stage IEMs

Offset an IEM transmitter 200 m from the control room

ATH-200 in the control room → fiber → AFB-350 above the stage → transmit antenna: artists stay covered with no giant coax between rack and grid.

Distributed intercom / IFB

Cover multiple zones with one central transmitter

One ATH-200 feeds two AFB-350 in parallel, each driving an antenna in a separate zone. Uniform coverage without doubling transmitters.

Long-range HF camera

Drive a distant video return antenna

Remote AFB-350 on the shoot site → directional antenna aimed at the cameras: you extend HF video-return range without sacrificing noise.
