External Fiber Delay Line System

The 5021D-A15, 3 GHz fiber optic delay line delivers unmatched

performance for radar testing, signal processing, phased array

antennas and phase noise testing. This rugged device eliminates

many of the problems that are inherent in alternative transceiver

technologies.

EMCORE’s fiber optic delay lines provide bandwidth that is essen-

tially independent of fiber length, loss or delay, and triple transit signals that are

immeasurable. In addition to enhanced electrical performance, the delay lines

provide several mechanical advantages. EMCORE’s technology takes advantage of

the rigid yet flexible properties of fiber optic cable to provide repeatable en-

hanced phase and group delay characteristics. The small size of these components

allows for a long delay in a compact package with the superior temperature

stability of fiber.
