RFOptic’s RFoF 18.0GHz high-frequency Optical Delay Line (ODL) series for bands up to Ku provides a high-performance solution for testing and calibration of radar systems or for latency testing and qualifying RF communication equipment. The Optical Delay Line (ODL) provides a true time delay of wideband RF signals using low-loss optical fiber. The Input RF signal is converted to an optical signal, delayed by one or more single-mode optical fiber sections, and is converted back into RF signal at the output.
RFOptic’s Mini ODL solution, offered in a compact, robust enclosure, is recommended when only a few short delays of up to 15 μsec are required.
