[caption id="attachment_11808" align="alignright" width="320"] Optical Delay Line (ODL)[/caption] An Optical Delay Line (ODL) is an electric-optic-electric instrument. It performs fixed time delay(s), between 0.01 and 250 μsec for RF signals up to 40GHz and more. The optical signal is transmitted into a long single-mode fiber, usually at a 1.55 micron wavelength or similar. Passing through the fiber and a series of...
Read moreRFOptic is a leading provider and vendor of RF over Fiber (RFoF) and Optical Delay Line (ODL) solutions as well as embedded RF Optical solutions for OEM customers in the telecommunications, aerospace & defense, broadcasting, and infrastructure industries. RFOptic is known for its RFoF links, multi-link / multi-channel RFoF systems and subsystems to meet customer requirements, including diverse enclosures (indoor...
Read moreThe tender was issues by he South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) for the supply of broadband 18 GHz fiber optic links to be deployed at its Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) site. It was to be used on HartRAO's new Very Long Baseline Interferometry Global Observing System (VGOS) radio telescope. Accutronics offered with its tender submission the 18 GHz...
Read moreAt the request of customers, RFOptic has now launched 12GHz, 18GHz, 20GHz, 30GHz, and 40GHz RF over Fiber links that have an ultra-low spurious level of less than -95dBm. This means that RFOptic’s MiniQ RFoF series provide spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) better than -112dB/Hz. Spurious RFoF solutions are essential in order to mix non-harmonic spurious signals with the input RF...
Read moreAt RFOptic, we listen to our customers to provide solutions that they want and need. So when we got requests for programmable phased-matched 6GHz solutions, it was a no-brainer for us to have our R&D department working on it. (To download the brochure, click here) The palm-size analog RFoF modules are used to convert RF signals to optical signals to...
