RACK2022: Integrated Microwave Transceiver
The Emcore RACK2022 is an integrated, 1 RU high-performance transceiver with guaranteed performance over the 0.01 – 3 GHz frequency band. It incorporates a directly modulated transmitter, RF preamplifier, optical receiver, RF post amplifier and optical AGC. It provides +8 dBm minimum of optical output power. The optical AGC provides fixed gain operation for a constant RF input power and varying optical link budgets.
The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for RF test cell antenna remoting, RF signal distribution, RF delay lines, point-to-point data links and other applications where it is necessary to transport RF signals over long distances without signal degradation.
The unit operates at a nominal optical wavelength of 1550 nm.
