15GHz Optical Delay Module

RFOptic's optical delay line ODL series provides a high-performance solution for testing and calibration of radar systems, or for RF communication. The ODL converts analog RF signals to optical signals and back. The RF input signal is converted into an optical modulated signal, which is then transmitted into a single mode fibre, creating a fixed time delay defined by the fibre length. After passing through the fibre, the optical signal is converted back into an electrical RF signal, which is identical to the input RF signal.
