SIRU3018 .05–18 GHz Unamplified Fiber Optic Receiver DATASHEET | JULY 2014 MICROWAVE The SIRU3018 (Small Integrated Receiver Unit) is an ideal receiver to use with EMCORE’s high-performance externally-modulated fiber optic transmitters. This high-performance optical receiver is designed for applications from 50 MHz to 18 GHz and features high optical input power of up to +12 dBm (15 mW). The SIRU3018 is a fully-integrated unit that contains both high-frequency PIN photodiode and the control electronics. Only DC input voltages and the optical signal are required for operation. Microwave Antenna Signal Distribution The broad bandwidth of the SIRU3000 units makes it ideal to construct transparent links for microwave antenna signal distribution, Electronic Warfare (EW) systems and Ku- and Ka-Band systems. Other applications include delay lines, signal processing, radar system calibration, phased array antennas and other systems where it is necessary to transport RF and microwave signals over long distances without signal degradation.
