What is an Optical Delay Line – ODL? September 2, 2019

Understanding Optical Delay Lines: What is ODL? An Optical Delay Line (ODL) is an electric-optic-electric instrument. (in some literature, an optical delay line is also referred to as fiber delay line or a fiber optic delay line), It performs fixed time delay(s), between a few nanoseconds up to several hundred microseconds, for RF signals from 10MHz up to 40GHz and...

RFOptic’s RFoF for GPS Applications March 28, 2019

GPS signals have to be transferred from the antenna to a control room in mobile networks architecture. Sometimes, the physical distances are more than a few kilometers which preclude the use of coax cable due to high loss. Minimal fiber infrastructure drives mobile companies to use the same infrastructure for GPS and digital signals using WDM technologies. The GPSoF...

Everything you always wanted to know about Optical Delay Lines November 15, 2018
