(+) Larger View 3.5 GHz RF Analog Fiber Optic Transmitter
The MP-2320TX is a comprehensive family of RF/Fiber Optic Transmitters that are designed to provide electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion of broadband RF signals over a frequency range of 1.0 MHz to 3500 MHz. The transmitter family can be optimized over a unique frequency range as indicated in the part number generator tool on page two. Further system optimization can be achieved by using the integrated RF attenuators which have a 30 dB adjustment range.
The utilization of the MP-2320TX, in conjunction with the appropriate MP- 2320RX RF Fiber Optic Receiver, forms a broadband link capable of supporting the transmission of RF signals over singlemode optical fiber for use in a wide array of communication applications. The link applications include antenna remoting, time and frequency reference distribution, RF delay lines, telemetry tracking, and point-to-point RF transmission.
The transmitter utilizes a low noise, high dynamic range Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser with intergrated temperature stability control. The transmitter operates over link distances up to 50 km. An optional longhaul Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser can be specified that extends the link range to 80 km. The unit provides the user with status monitoring through the use of an onboard processor that communicates to a host computer over an RS-232 I/O interface. The I/O parameters include laser bias current, temperature and alarm status.
