359A Series 1310 & 1550 nm Standard and Ultra Fiber Optic Delay Line Modules DATASHEET | NOVEMBER 2014 MICROWAVE The 359A Series Standard and Ultra Fiber Optic Delay Line Modules provide optical delays for 1310 and 1550 nm applications housed in an industry standard 19” rack-mount enlcosure. Fiber Optic Delay Lines deliver unmatched performance for radar testing, signal processing, phased array antennas and phase noise testing. The 359A Series provides both a standard single-mode fiber and offers a purpose built solution for applications requiring maximum delay length. The 359X platform works with a wide range of fiber optic transport products for satellite and microwave communications from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. These units can be used to construct transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to Applications >100 km for RF and microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video transport, electronic warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications. Radar Testing/Calibration Signal Processing Phased Array Antennas Phase Noise Processing Features Delays Up to 1000 microseconds Delay Length Specifications Product Size Max Delay Max.

For these cases, midspan breakouts can be placed at every 50 km (about every 245 µs) interval of the 359A Series Delay and Dispersion Compensation Modules to allow the insertion of optical amplification (EDFA). Pigtail Leads - If preferred, the standard bulkhead connector input and output of the 359A Series Delay and Dispersion Compensation Modules can be replaced with a one meter long pigtail with a male connector on the end. © 2014 EMCORE Corporation | REV 2014.11 +1 626-293-3400 [email protected] www.emcore.com Information contained herein is deemed to be reliable and accurate as of the issue date.
