5021D-B11 7 GHz, 250 ns Max Internal Fiber Delay Line System DATASHEET | NOVEMBER 2013 MICROWAVE The 5021D-B11 7 GHz fiber optic delay line delivers unmatched performance for radar testing, signal processing, phased array antennas and phase noise testing. This rugged device eliminates many of the problems that are inherent in alternative transceiver technologies. Applications Radar Testing Signal Processing Phased Array Antennas Phase Noise Processing EMCORE’s fiber optic delay lines 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. EMCORE’s technology takes advantage of the rigid yet flexible properties of fiber optic cable to provide repeatable enhanced phase and group delay characteristics. The small size of these components allows for a long delay in a compact package with the superior temperature stability of fiber.
