KUxx Band
The KUxx Band is a fiber-pigtailed OEM RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) transmitter module operating across a wide band up to 18 GHz.
- Product Summary
- Product Details
-
The KUxx Band module is a cooled-DFB-laser transmitter designed to carry microwave signals over optical fiber up to 18 GHz. It includes a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) with closed-loop control to keep temperature and optical output power constant, and it supports 50 GHz and 100 GHz channel spacing for DWDM applications. With a high Spur-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), it delivers dependable performance in demanding uses such as microwave antenna distribution, frequency distribution systems, multi-band satcom transport and electronic warfare.
