Programmable 2.5GHz RF Over Fiber Transceiver
Description
RFOptic presents its new innovative controllable RFoF product line. RFOptic's palm size analog RFoF modules are used to convert RF signals to optical signals to carry over long distances. The Tx unit using an optical transmitter, converts RF to Optical signal and the Rx unit converts back to RF signal. The two units are connected through customer’s single mode fiber. RFOptic's RF over Fiber modules (RFoF) are suitable for telecommunications, satellite, radio telescopes, distribution antennas, broadcasting audio and video, timing synchronization and GPS applications. For example, point-topoint antennas can be connected from several meters to many kilometers away from the control room by fiber cables; Base stations can be connected through fiber to remote sector antennas; Satellite antennas can be connected through fiber cable to remote sites by RF over Fiber solutions. Both the Tx and Rx units includes LNAs and variable attenuators that enable customer to adjust the Noise Figure, Input P1dB, and IP3 with wide dynamic range values. The LNA can be operated through the RFoF software allowing RF input power in the range of -100 dBm/1MHz for wideband applications, with low Noise Figure of 6 dB. The RFoF link has excellent gain flatness with 0.5dB gain tracking between different links. For special applications requiring temperature stability operation, a unique algorithm supporting 0.5 dB over 1000 C has been developed. The DC power of the RFoF modules is flexible from 5 to 12 Volts. A user-friendly RFoF software enables adjustment of the RF and Optical parameters, such as link gain, Noise Figure, P1dB, Optical power, LED indication and module information, either locally or remotely.
