Programmable Bidirectional RF over Fibre Transceiver

RFOptic has developed an innovative compact bidirectional (2 way) RF over Fibre (RFoF) transceiver. It is comprised of an uplink of Tx and Rx (at 1550nm) and a downlink of Tx and Rx at 1310nm. The transceiver employs WDM technology to use only 1 fibre link instead of 2. An optional control card for SNMP remote management might be added at a later stage. The bidirectional modules are designed for applications where an uplink as well as a downlink are required such as Transmit/Receive antenna interfaces. In such a case, applications are looking for a single fibre solution utilising WDM method.
