0.05 - 40 GHz, 1550 nm Externally Modulated Self-Contained L-K
Band Transmitters and Fiber Optic Receivers
The EMCORE Small Integrated Transmitter Unit (SITU) and Small Integrated
Receiver Unit (SIRU) are high performance broadband externally modulated
transmitter and receiver modules. Three transmitter RF operating bandwidths are
available: 0.05 – 18, 0.05 – 22 and 0.05 – 40 GHz. Two receiver RF operating bands
are available: 0.05 – 22 and 0.05 – 40 GHz. In addition, the units are DC-coupled,
so they will pass RF frequencies down to 10 kHz. Two optical output power
ranges of 7-9 dBm or 10-12 dBm are available for each transmitter band.
The SITU-SIRU series modules are fully integrated units that contain both the
optics and the control electronics. Only DC input voltages, fiber optic and the RF
signal are required for operation.
The units can be used to construct transparent links for antenna remoting. The
broad bandwidth is intended for applications such as electronic warfare and Ku
band systems. Other applications include delay lines and signal processing
systems.
The system operates at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm. Wavelength selected
transmitter lasers on the ITU grid are also available to support multi-channel
DWDM applications.
