1 Product Specification 5800 Uplander Way Culver City, CA 9030 Tel (310) Miniature, Ruggedized, 0 GHz RF over Fiber Transmitter PRODUCT FEATURES Bandwidth 0.1 to 0 GHz Reconfigurable with and no LNA Noise Figure < 8 db (< db no LNA) Very High Linearity High intrinsic RF Gain High RF Saturation Compact size includes low noise electronics and all optical components APPLICATIONS Broad band RF over fiber remoting - 1m to 10 km RF over fiber systems that require robust, ruggedized, compact solutions High frequency phase interferometry RF systems DESCRIPTION The miniature ruggedized 0 GHz analog RF over Fiber (RFoF) optical transmitter is a high performance solution for RF remoting. It is designed as a flexible platform that includes in a small form factor: ultra-low noise driver electronics; Low RIN laser with shot noise performance; high performance modulator and optional LNA. The transmitter can be operated either by an onoff switch using predefined settings or the user can utilize supplied GUI that allows control of all internal components laser, modulator and LNA operating parameters. The transmitter offers 100 MHz-0 GHz RF instantaneous bandwidth which, when coupled with APIC s high responsivity and linearity receivers, offers unmatched RFoF performance. For applications that require high sensitivity and very low minimum detection signal threshold we recommend a configuration using an LNA. For applications that require higher linearity a transmitter without an LNA is recommended.
