Overview

RFOptic’s offering includes RFoF solutions, including programmable low frequency (up to 6GHz) and the HSFDR up to 40GHz for Radio Telescope application solutions. Enclosures containing sets of modules can be monitored and controlled remotely via USB or HTML/SNMP/REST interfaces. The HSFDR RFoF is offered in 100MHz to 12, 18, 20, 30, and 40 GHz bandwidths. These RFoF solutions provide high SFDR exceeding 111 dB/Hz. Due to improved NF, a pre-amplifier may not be necessary. Such high-performance products are used in applications including civil communication, antenna remoting, telemetry, defense systems, satellite communications, and more.

For radio telescopes, we offer a customizable mix of 6GHz and 18GHz in 1U 19” rack mount and a companion outdoor enclosure.
