20GHz RF Over Fibre High SFDR Transceiver

RFOptic's analog RFoF compact modules enable long distance transport of wideband RF signals. The Tx unit, uses an optical transmitter, converts wideband RF signals to an Optical signal and the Rx unit converts the Optical signal back to RF signal. The two units are connected by the customer’s fibre.
In general, a wide range of spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is desirable when multiple signals of very different power levels are expected. High SFDR transmission RFoF simplifies signal conditioning requirements intended to avoid signal saturation and subsequent consequences such as power level adjustment, and ALC and power range switching by attenuators. During e.g., antenna testing, radar or communications system testing, high SFDR is essential due to the typical large amplitude ratios between main and side lobes or close and distant targets. The same applies to DF/ELINT systems which have to handle strong jammers concurrent with weak signals of interest.
