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.
Microwave Data Links
Broadband Delay-Line and
Signal Processing Systems
Frequency Distribution Systems
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.
