Analog RFoF optical Transmitter is used to convert RF signals to optical signals that can be sent and carried over long distances of fiber optic cable.
The Optical Receiver converts them back to an RF signal. The two units are connected through 1 single mode fiber up to 40Km.
RF over Fiber modules (RFoF) are commonly used in L-band, S-band satellite, radio telescopes, RF antennas distribution, broadcasting audio, and video, timing synchronization and GPS applications and other telecommunications.
It's very easy and cost effective to extend a signal from any antenna, Modulator or RF instrument, point to point or multipoint to multipoint using fiber optic splitters.
Applications
IMPORTANT NOTE*** (it is very important to interface our unit with SC/APC - Angle Polished Connector to avoid any light reflections.
If your fiber is terminated with the SC, ST, FC /PC flat connector, you need to use an optical jumper from PC type to SC/APC for proper conversion.

Received Optical Power Monitor, The Voltage of OP See Below Explanation |
The OP voltage (Vop, unit: V) VS received optical power ( Pop, unit: mW) follow the formula:
Vop≈ D*Pop
The D factor defined as detection factor in V/mW unit. The typical range of D is from 0.25 V/mW to 0.5 V/mW. For example, D=0.375 V/mW, the OP voltage (Vop) VS received optical power (Pop) as shown in the table below:

| The user can input the known optical power Pop and detect the Vop voltage, and then calculate the approximate value of the D factor of an optical receiver by the formula Vop≈ D*Pop. In this case, the obtained D factor and Vop can be used to estimate the optical power received by the optical receiver in practical applications. | |
18GHz Ku-Band Fiber Optic Mini Transmiter / Receiver
Analog RF 10MHz to 18GHz Ku-Band fiber optic mini Transmitter and Receiver set F-RFoF-18GHZ-TxRx
4GHz fiber optic mini Transmiter / Receiver
4GHz Mini Analog RF over fiber transport equipment. Transmitter has SMA 50ohm electrical interface and accepts Analog RF signal up to 4000Mhz, units come standard with optical FC/APC output. The receiver accepts an optical signal from it's FC/APC port and converts it back to the electrical RF. These units are ideal for transporting high frequency RF over fiber where copper can not complete the application due to its inherent distance limitations.
