MHz to 18 GHz Amplified Microwave Transport System The Optiva OTS-2 18 GHz Microwave Band transmitter and receiver are ideal to construct transparent fiber optic links in the MHz to 18 GHz frequency range for antenna remoting, electronic warfare systems, broadband delay lines, signal processing systems and other high-dynamic-range applications. Applications Microwave Antenna Signal Distribution Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems Broadband Delay Line and Signal Processing Systems Frequency Distribution Systems Radar System Calibration Phased Array Antenna Systems, Interferometric Antenna Arrays Features / Benefits MHz-18 GHz - Eliminates the performance and cost penalty of block up/ down conversion Low RIN Source Laser - Provides highdynamic-range of >11 db-hz 2/3 sub-octave Microprocessor-Based Transmitter Control for Laser Bias, Modulator Bias & Link Gain - Provides consistent high performance operation and allows for modulator low-bias operation and higher SFDR Optiva satellite and microwave transmitters and receivers are SNMP compliant. They can be housed in the same chassis and monitored by the same Network Management System (NMS) as Optiva HD video, audio, serial data, and USB extension / distribution cards to support transport of multiple signal formats and frequency bands in a single flexible platform. System Design The Optiva platform includes a wide range fiber optic transport products for satellite and microwave communications from 1 MHz to 4 GHz. These units can be used to construct transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to >1 km for RF and microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video transport, electronic warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications. Optiva is a completely modular, hot-swappable platform. Both 19 rack-mount and compact tabletop, or wall-mountable enclosures are available. The 3 RU 19 rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosures (Model OT-CC-16 and OT-CC-16F) can support up to 16 insert cards and utilize two dual-redundant, hot-swappable, 1 or 2 watt power supplies. The 1 RU 19 rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosure (Model: OT- CC-6-1U) can accommodate 6 insert cards and utilizes two hot-swappable 6 watt power supplies. Compact one-slot (OT-DTCR-1), or two-slot (OT-DTCR-2) enclosures are also available that use an external wall-mount power supply.
