DATA SHEET – NOVEMBER 2007 Integrated Microwave Transceiver RACK1122 0.05 – 18 GHz, 1550 nm Externally Modulated Transmitter with Receiver and Integrated AGC, Pre & Post Amps Applications Microwave Test Cell Antenna Signal Remoting Microwave Data Links Broadband Delay-Line and Signal Processing Systems Frequency Distribution Systems Features Integrated externally modulated transmitter, preamp, receiver and post amp Optical AGC The Emcore RACK1122 is an integrated, 1 RU high-performance transceiver with guaranteed performance over the 0.05 – 18 GHz frequency band. It incorporates a high dynamic range externally modulated transmitter, RF preamplifier, optical receiver, RF post amplifier and optical AGC. It provides +6 dBm minimum of optical output power. The optical AGC provides fixed gain operation for a constant RF input power and varying optical link budgets. The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for microwave test cell antenna remoting, microwave signal distribution, microwave delay lines, point-to-point data links and other applications where it is necessary to transport RF and microwave signals over long distances without signal degradation. The unit operates at a nominal optical wavelength of 1550 nm.
