The Radio over Fiber solutions of RFOptic are designed for those applications where COAX is not sufficient, which is often the case for high performance.

Following is an overview of the bands that RFOptic supports

Product Bands
RFoF 2.5GHz low frequency RFoF modules From HF to S band (up to 2.5GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L
RFoF 3.0GHz low frequency RFoF modules From HF to S band (up to 3GHz) including HF, VHF UHF, L
RFoF 4.0GHz low frequency RFoF modules From HF to S band (up to 4GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S
RFoF 6.0GHz low frequency RFoF modules From HF to C band (up to 6GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S
RFoF 12.0GHz high frequency RFoF modules From HF to Ku band (up to 12GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C
RFoF 18.0GHz high frequency RFoF modules From HF to Ku band (up to 18GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X
RFoF 20.0GHz high frequency RFoF modules From HF to K band (up to 20GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku
RFoF 30.0GHz high frequency RFoF modules From HF to K band (up to 30GHz) including HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C, Ku, K

Analog RF over Fiber modules convert RF signals to optical signals and back. One unit has an optical transmitter which converts the signal from RF to Optical, and a second receiver unit converts the signal from Optical to RF. Both units are connected by the optical fiber of the customer.

RFOptic offers three groups of Radio over Fiber solutions:

  1.  Low frequency (0.5MHz – 6GHz)
  2. High frequency Mini-S Series (12GHz and up to and including 18GHz) programmable RFoF solutions
  3. High frequency SFDR Mini-Q series (18GHz and up to and including 40GHz) programmable RFoF solutions.

Other solutions include:

  1. Low frequency programmable RFoF modules (also with SNMP)  based on direct modulation and include 2.5GHz (with optional GPS), 3GHz, 4GHz, and 6GHz.
  2. Bidirectional (2-way) RF over Fiber receiver (2.5GHz – 6.0GHz) and CWDM 8 channel multiplexer (mux) / demultiplexer (demux) subsystem.

Low frequency features include:

  • A frequency range of 0.5MHz to 6GHz
  • Excellent flatness
  • >40dB gain links
  • NF around 5db with LNA On.

Applications include remote antenna, GSM and cellular communications, broadcast, and satellite.

High frequency features include:

  • A frequency range of a few KHz up to and including 40GHz
  • Good flatness
  • Good phase noise
  • Excellent SFDR.

Applications include remote antenna, EW, radar, and military communications.
