RACK3000
0.05 – 18 GHz, 1550 nm Externally Modulated Transmitter
The Emcore RACK2501 is an integrated, 1 RU high-performance
transmitter with guaranteed performance over the 0.05 – 18 GHz
frequency band. It incorporates a high dynamic range externally
modulated transmitter and provides +6 dBm minimum of optical output
power.
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.
