DATA SHEET – MAY 2008
Integrated Microwave Transceiver
RACK2022T
0.01 – 3 GHz, 1550 nm Directly Modulated Transmitter with Receiver and
Integrated AGC, Pre & Post Amps
Applications
RF Test Cell Antenna Signal
Remoting
RF Data Links
Delay-Line and Signal
Processing Systems
Frequency Distribution Systems
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-topoint 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.
