Transmitter/Receiver RF over Fiber Low Noise High SFDR – DC-50GHz
The LRFF series is a family of low-noise analog RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) transmit/receive links designed for long-distance transport of wideband RF signals with minimal degradation. These links offer a high spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), enabling simultaneous transmission of multiple signals with widely varying power levels while maintaining excellent noise figure (NF) performance. High-SFDR operation reduces the need for heavy front-end signal conditioning, avoiding gain compression issues and simplifying separation of true signals from spurious artifacts. The transmitter uses a narrow-linewidth, high-side-mode-suppression laser coupled with an external LiNbO₃ modulator biased for high linearity, with a built-in RF pre-amplifier to improve NF and link gain. External modulation also supports WDM operation with up to 98 channels.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Transmitter/Receiver RF over Fiber Low Noise High SFDR – DC-50GHz to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SM28, PM1550 · Fiber Connector: FC/APC, FC/UPC, SC/APC, SC/UPC, LC/APC, LC/UPC, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1550 nm, ITU Tunable, 1310 nm, WDM ITU
- Check the Optical / RF Delay Lines passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
