RFOptic Ltd. was selected by CoreEL India to provide a 255 states progressive Optical Delay Line. RFOptic’s Optical Delay Line system (ODL) is generally used for transposing signals to distances ranging from few meters to several tens of kilometers. An ODL system is an RF over Fiber solution with a defined delay line that is used in radar and microwave systems, e.g. for radar calibration. Our ODL system can include several different delay lines, which are selected either manually or remotely by an external computer interface. RFOptic offers five groups of ODLs operating at different frequency bands starting from 10 MHz up to 20 GHz.

The selected system has 255 states in intervals of 1 μsec up to 255 μsec where the gain is fixed regardless of the loss of the delay line. The system works with L and S bands and is housed in a compact 2U enclosure.

Dr. Avner Sharon, RFOptic’s CEO said: “We are proud to have been  selected by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). We will continue our customer centered strategy that includes high level of customization, service agility and a quick delivery of unique solutions designed specifically according to the customer’s request. Our solutions are not only highly customized but also cost effective. We noticed that an increasing numbers of customers are satisfied with our Optical Delay Line solutions all over the world.”

The main application of an Optical Delay Line is that it is used as a range simulator for radar and wireless systems.

“CoreEL is proud to have been selected by ISRO for supplying RFOptic’s Optical Delay Line products. RFOptic products will dovetail into our offerings in the defense and avionics arena.  Our partnership with RFOptic will enable us to deliver those progressive Optical Delay Line systems to other customers in India. It is indeed a privilege to associate with this kind of technology, that RFOptic has successfully put into its products”, said Mr. Vishwanath Padur, CEO of  CoreEL Technologies.

RFOptic and its India Distributor, CoreEL worked closely to meet ISRO’s strict technical requirements.
