The 67GHz RF-over-Fiber Mini-L from RFOptic has a frequency range of 1 to 67 GHz. It converts wideband RF signals to an RFoF optical signal in the Tx unit and converts the received RFoF optical signal back to an RF signal in the Rx unit. For RF operation, this module has an SFDR of 112 dB/Hz, a noise figure of 27 dB, and a phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz (at 10 kHz offset). For optical operation, it has a laser diode optical wavelength of 1.55 μm and a receiver photodiode optical wavelength of 1.5 to 1.58 μm. This module requires a DC supply of 5 V and consumes less than 2.5 W of power. It is available with various housing options with 1.85 mm RF input/output connectors and FC/APC optical connectors.
This 67 GHz RF-over-fiber module is ideal for use in applications such as civil communication, antenna remoting, telemetry, defense systems, and satellite communications. It can also be used in distributed antenna, radio telescopes, antenna remoting, long RF links via fiber and electronic warfare applications.
