Fibre-optic links for satcom systems

25 November 2020 Opto-Electronics

The Emcore Optiva OTS-2 Series satcom band fibre-optic links are a family of SNMP managed fibre-optic transmitters and receivers that provide high-performance downlink and uplink transport within the modular Optiva platform.

The Optiva OTS-2 Series supports SNMP V.1 and RS-232 monitoring and control interface with flexible user interface options. Compatibility with Emcore’s modular Optiva platform allows multiple format and frequency transport in a single chassis. C, X, DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite), Ku-, Ka- and Q/V-band modules are available.

The units can be used to construct transparent fibre-optic links for satcom band antenna signal distribution, ground terminal and intra-facility links, electronic warfare (EW) systems, broadband delay lines, signal processing systems and other high-dynamic-range applications. With the DWDM operation, the system increases transport capacity without increasing fibre count.

Optiva satcom band modules utilise Emcore’s high-performance, ultra-low Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) source laser technology with high optical input power capable photodiodes, and feature microprocessor-based transmitter and receiver control for laser and modulator bias. Satcom band modules also come with variable RF gain to provide consistent microwave link operations.
