DATASHEET | JANUARY 2, 2008 5017-Series Delay Line With Fully Integrated Fiber Optics The 5017-Series Delay System delivers unmatched performance for radar testing, signal processing, phased antenna array, and phase noise testing. The 5017 also provides unmatched convenience and robustness because of its fully integrated fiber optics. All the fiber interfaces are reliably fusion spliced internal to the box, thus eliminating any handling and maintenance of optical connectors. The user only needs to provide +5 and +15 volts, then plug in his RF connectors. Applications Radar testing/calibration Signal processing Phased array antennas Phase noise testing Features Bandwidth to 18 GHz Emcore’s fiber-optic transceivers provide bandwidth that is essentially independent of fiber length, loss or delay, and triple transit signals that are immeasurable. In addition to enhanced electrical performance, the delay lines provide several mechanical advantages. The small size of these components allows for a long delay in a compact package with the superior temperature stability of fiber. Emcore’s technology takes advantage of the rigid yet flexible properties of fiber-optic cable to provide repeatable enhanced phase and group delay characteristics. Emcore’s Model 5017 consists of directly modulated DFB lasers and photodiodes fabricated with mature, field-proven Ortel technology.
