TN11MCA4 Is Huawei OSN 9800 Spectrum Analyzer Boards
Huawei OSN 9800 Spectrum Analyzer Boards TN11MCA4 Overview
MCA4: 4-port spectrum analyzer unit
The available functional version of the MCA4 board is TN11.
As a spectrum analyzer unit, the MCA4 board provides four ports. Each the port supports spectrum analysis for up to 80 wavelengths.
The MCA4 board is used for spectrum analysis and power detection, and supports the APE function.
The MCA4 board consists of a 1x4 optical switch, spectrum analysis module, driver and control module, control and communication module, and power supply module.
There are indicators and interfaces on the front panel of the MCA4 board.
The MCA4 board is a double-width board (requiring two slots).
Function and Feature

Basic function |
Provides four ports, each of which supports spectrum analysis for up to 80 wavelengths. |
Detection function |
Monitors the following information of C-band signals with a fixed channel spacing and reports the information to the SCC board. The following information can be displayed on the NMS.
If power deviation is more than 6 dB between the minimum-power wavelength and the maximum-power wavelength, the MCA4 board may mistake the minimum-power wavelength as noise and drop it. OSNR monitoring and power monitoring are not supported for Turbo WDM boards. NOTE:The range of modulation formats supported by a spectrum analyzer board varies depending on the software version of the spectrum analyzer module. For example, some spectrum analyzer boards may fail to identify the 200G ePDM-e16QAM modulation format. To determine whether the spectrum analyzer board supports a modulation format, see the Mapping Between Fixed Grid MCA & OPM Boards and Modulation Formats of WDM_OTN. |
APE function |
Supports power detection when the board is configured as a power detection unit in an APE pair. |
