GPS timing signals are used in many applications from Cellular networks to Data centers. Typically, the GPS signal has to be transferred from the antenna to a control room. When this distance exceeds about 100 ft, coax cable can’t be used due to high signal losses. RFOptic provides its GPS Over Fiber solution that carries the GPS signal several miles...
Read moreAs mentioned in our latest newsletter, we have been very busy during Q1 of this year. Our R&D department has designed a new standard enclosure for our ODL solutions. This new design features an informative display with a keypad that provides a clear readout of the ODL state and allows rapid manual adjustments. The manual controls are augmented with direct...

Read more[caption id="attachment_11808" align="alignright" width="320"] Optical Delay Line (ODL)[/caption] An Optical Delay Line (ODL) is an electric-optic-electric instrument. It performs fixed time delay(s), between 0.01 and 250 μsec for RF signals up to 40GHz and more. The optical signal is transmitted into a long single-mode fiber, usually at a 1.55 micron wavelength or similar. Passing through the fiber and a series of...
