Integrated Microwave Transceiver

RACK1122

0.05 – 18 GHz, 1550 nm Externally Modulated Transmitter with Receiver and

Integrated AGC, Pre & Post Amps

The Emcore RACK1122 is an integrated, 1 RU high-performance

transceiver with guaranteed performance over the 0.05 – 18 GHz

frequency band.

It incorporates a high dynamic range externally

modulated transmitter, RF preamplifier, optical receiver, RF post

amplifier and optical AGC. It provides +6 dBm minimum of optical

output power. The optical AGC provides fixed gain operation for a

constant RF input power and varying optical link budgets.

The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for

microwave test cell antenna remoting, microwave signal distribution,

microwave delay lines, point-to-point data links and other applications

where it is necessary to transport RF and microwave signals over long

distances without signal degradation.

The unit operates at a nominal optical wavelength of 1550 nm.
