The 359C Series Dispersion Compensation Module provides a solution for deal-

ing with existing high dispersion legacy installations. By providing a negative

dispersion, fiber with high positive dispersion can be fully compensated. Typical

dispersion compensation modules can increase the total fiber length by as much

as 65%, while these highly efficient high dispersion fibers only increase the total

fiber length of the system by approximately 13%. Thus lessening the requirement

on the EDFA modules required to compensate for the total fiber loss.

The 359X platform works with a wide range of fiber optic transport products for

satellite and microwave communications from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. These units can

be used to construct transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to

>100 km for RF and microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video trans-

port, electronic warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications.
