General Description

This data sheet outlines our capability in the field of long distance wideband microwave signal transmission through advanced fibre-optic solutions. Extending our experience with fibre-optic transmission of IF signals up to 1GHz and HDB3-coded telecommunications signals, we are now able to offer solutions for microwave links up to 18GHz.   Our systems find applications in the remoting of microwave antennas for satellite earth stations and mobile communications sites, radar system calibration, phased array antenna systems and frequency distribution systems. All links are based on fibre-optic transmit and receive interfaces which can be fully integrated into existing microwave systems or supplied as part of a complete custom system specified, configured and built to your requirements.   In traditional microwave systems, broadband signals are demultiplexed into bands then transmitted over multiple coaxial cables. With the inherent losses and frequency dependence of coaxial cable, repeaters are required with additional amplifiers, filters and gain equalisers to achieve the required link. Optical systems, with their flat frequency response and virtually lossless transmission medium, do away with all of these complexities. The result is a compact, simple, reliable system which should provide a long, maintenance-free working life.   We can undertake all aspects of integration from link planning, design of interfacing components, installation and commissioning, either independently or working in full co-operation with your own engineers.   For further details on specification, special options and packaging, please see overleaf. For requirements not listed please contact us by e-mail or through our online enquiry form.

 

Part Number Allocation

MOD-1033/###   MOL : Product ID (Microwave Fibre Optic Link) 1033 : Product number. ### : Variant designation       Typical part Number : ‘MOL-1033/001’   The MOL-1033 product number describes a generic item which is tailored to specific applications, therefore a variant part number system is utilised instead of the configuration code system used for some of our standard products.

 

Outline Specifications

Due to the wide range of configurations and options available, only typical specifications for standard units are provided. A more detailed specification for your unit can be provided at the time of quotation or proposal.   Please refer to the full Data Sheet No.1033 for outline specification.
