RFOptic and Accutronics Have Won a Tender For Providing 18GHz Fiber Optic Links for Radio Telescope Applications June 14, 2020

The tender was issues by he South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) for the supply of broadband 18 GHz fiber optic links to be deployed at its Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) site. It was to be used on HartRAO's new Very Long Baseline Interferometry Global Observing System (VGOS) radio telescope. Accutronics offered with its tender submission the 18 GHz...

RFOptic has launched its high frequency links with ultra-low spurious level for RADAR and EW applications June 3, 2020

At the request of customers, RFOptic has now launched 12GHz, 18GHz, 20GHz, 30GHz, and 40GHz RF over Fiber links that have an ultra-low spurious level of less than -95dBm. This means that RFOptic’s MiniQ RFoF series provide spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) better than -112dB/Hz. Spurious RFoF solutions are essential in order to mix non-harmonic spurious signals with the input RF...

What is an Optical Delay Line – ODL? September 2, 2019

Understanding Optical Delay Lines: What is ODL? An Optical Delay Line (ODL) is an electric-optic-electric instrument. (in some literature, an optical delay line is also referred to as fiber delay line or a fiber optic delay line), It performs fixed time delay(s), between a few nanoseconds up to several hundred microseconds, for RF signals from 10MHz up to 40GHz and...
