Overview

RFOptic’s RF over Fiber modules (RFoF) are suitable for telecommunications, satellite, radio telescopes, distribution antenna systems, broadcasting audio and video, and timing synchronization.

Both the Tx and Rx units include LNAs and variable attenuators that enable customers to adjust the Noise Figure, Input P1dB, and IP3 with wide dynamic range values. The LNA can be operated through the RFoF software allowing RF input power in the range of -100 dBm/1MHz for wideband applications, with a low Noise Figure of 6 dB. The RFoF link has excellent gain flatness with 0.5dB gain tracking between different links.
