The Optiva OTS-ODLS, 40 GHz Internal Fiber Delay Line System is
designed for use with Optiva OTS-2 40 GHz transmitter, receiver,
optical switches, and EDFA’s. The optical switches allow for up to
four separate delays to be used with a maximum delay time of
40 µs. The system delivers unmatched performance for radar
testing, signal processing, phased array antennas and phase noise
testing with greater flexibility than traditional coax or waveguide
solutions.
EMCORE’s fiber optic delay lines provide bandwidth that is essentially indepen-
dent of fiber length, losses or delays, and triple transit signals that are immea-
surable. In addition to enhanced electrical performance, the delay lines provide
several mechanical advantages. EMCORE’s technology takes advantage of the
rigid yet flexible properties of fiber optic cable to provide repeatable enhanced
phase and group delay characteristics.
The Optiva OTS-ODLS provides convenient RF input/outputs to connect to the
OTS-2 RF transmitter and receiver. Internally, the RF signal is converted to an opti-
cal signal and transmitted over a fiber optic link to the receiver and provides the
required signal delay time. Delay length and link performance requirements can
be tailored over a range of performance levels to meet specific requirements. The
Optiva OTS-ODLS system allows for a long delay in a relatively compact package
with the superior temperature stability of fiber.
EMCORE’s Optiva OTS-ODLS 40 GHz internal fiber delay line system can be sup-
plied as a complete solution with all modules mounted in a 19” Optiva rack-
mount enclosure utilizing standard AC power. The Optiva OTS-ODLS family of
internal fiber delay lines also includes 18 GHz and 22 GHz frequency options and
external Optiva fiber delay line systems for greater delay lengths are available.
System Design
The Optiva platform includes a wide range fiber
optic transport solutions for satellite and microwave
communications applications including transparent inter- and intra-facility links,
video transport, antenna remoting, radar system testing, phased array antennas,
signal processing, electronic warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range
applications.
Optiva is a completely modular, hot-swappable platform with a variety of rack-
mount or compact tabletop, or wall-mountable enclosures are available. The 3
RU 19” rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosure (Model OT-CC-16F) for the OTS-ODLS
internal fiber delay line system can support up to 16 insert cards and utilizes two
dual-redundant, hot-swappable, 200 watt power supplies.
