3 GHz RF Fiber Optic Links PCB Modules for Wireless Applications PRELIMINARY DATASHEET | JANUARY 2015 WIRELESS EMCORE 3 GHz RF fiber optic link PCB module series is designed to accept single RF input and transport to single RF output over a fiber optic link. This cost-effective, high performance RF broadband transport link is ideal for integration into wireless or other wideband RF transmission equipment. The compact modules are equipped with local (LED indicator) and remote (12-pin onboard micro connector) alarms to monitor the module, laser, photodiode, RF and optical level status. RF gain can be adjusted locally with a Applications Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Cellular Backhaul and Distributions push button, remotely with 12-pin micro connector, or automatically with automatic gain control (AGC). Integration Features WiFi, WiMAX Each compact transmitter or receiver PCB module is designed with a miniature 50 Public Services Ohm SMA or SMB connector. A built-in RF shield minimizes EMI/RF interference and SC/APC or FC/APC fiber pigtail facilitates module assembly, interface, and Features integration to the RF transmission equipment. 50 MHz - 3 GHz Operating Bandwidth EMCORE Advantage Modulation Protocol Independent Low Noise Isolated DFB Laser EMCORE’s vertically integrated, ISO-9001, RoHS compliant facility and its world-class GaAs InP wafer fab (Ortel heritage) has been successfully designing Local, Remote Monitor and Control and manufacturing highly linear, wide-dynamic-range laser/photodiode die, 30 dB RF Gain Control (1 dB Step) modules, PCBAs, cards, and integrated systems for the CATV, satcom, and Automatic RF Gain Control Laser, Photodiode Monitoring RF and Optical Level Monitoring telecommunication RF fiber signal transport applications. The 3 GHz PCB modules series are developed with selected laser and photodiode die and modules, then designed and integrated into a PCB module assembly specifically for the wireless and other wideband RF signal transport applications. 50 Ohm SMA or SMB RF Connector SC/APC or LC/APC Optical Connector Block Diagram RECEIVER TRANSMITTER RF Input RF Signal Interface LED: Unit Alarm RF Level* LNA Adjust Micro Control Laser Control TIA Photodiode Laser Monitor & Control RF Optical Adjust* Micro Control RF Signal Interface amp PD Control LED: Unit Alarm OPT Level* Monitor & Control Digital *D3-LSR2 Model Only *D3P- Model Only © 2015 EMCORE Corporation | REV 2015.01 Fiber Input Fiber Output TIA +1 626-293-3400 [email protected] www.emcore.com Information contained herein is deemed to be reliable and accurate as of the issue date.
