35XX Series, 280 μs Max Fiber Optic Delay Lines DATASHEET | SEPTEMBER 2014 MICROWAVE The 35XX Series Fiber Optic Delay Lines deliver unmatched performance for radar testing, signal processing, phased array antennas and phase noise testing. When used in conjunction with either the 5016A/B/C/D fiber optic transceiver, System 10000 rack-mount transmitters and receivers, or EMCORE flange-mount transmitters and receivers, these rugged devices eliminate many of the problems that are inherent in alternative delay line technologies including acoustic wave devices and coaxial delay lines. EMCORE’s fiber optic delay lines provides bandwidth and insertion loss that are Applications essentially independent of delay and triple transit signals that are immeasurable. In addition to enhancing electrical performance, the delay lines provide several Radar Testing/Calibration mechanical advantages. EMCORE’s technology takes advantage of the rigid, yet Signal Processing group delay characteristics. Phased Array Antennas EMCORE’s 35XX Series Fiber Optic Delay Lines consist of three unique versions: Phase Noise Processing flexible properties of fiber optic cable to provide repeatable enhanced phase and 355A - Flange-Mount Features 356A/B - Double-Wide Plug-In, compatible with the System 10000 chassis Delays Up to 280 microseconds 357A/B/C/D/E - Rack-Mount, which is integrated into the System 10000 chassis Various Form Factors The small size of these components allows for long delays in a compact package with the superior temperature stability of fiber.
