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:
- Low frequency (0.5MHz – 6GHz)
- High frequency Mini-S Series (12GHz and up to and including 18GHz) programmable RFoF solutions
- High frequency SFDR Mini-Q series (18GHz and up to and including 40GHz) programmable RFoF solutions.
Other solutions include:
- Low frequency programmable RFoF modules (also with SNMP) based on direct modulation and include 2.5GHz (with optional GPS), 3GHz, 4GHz, and 6GHz.
- Bidirectional (2-way) RF over Fiber receiver (2.5GHz – 6.0GHz) and CWDM 8 channel multiplexer (mux) / demultiplexer (demux) subsystem.
