RF Fiber Optic Antenna Remoting

July 16th, 2010 - Posted in Announcements | Featured

Richard Stewart, Director of Engineering and
Joshua Korson, RF / Optical Systems Engineer of Microwave Photonic Systems to speak at
Antenna Systems 2010 Conference, October 19th in Dallas, Texas.

The ever increasing proliferation and reliance on RF systems has necessitated the need for robust, secure and distributed network topologies. As a result, the defense and commercial industry is incorporating optical fiber cabling in lieu of coaxial cables or waveguides within major communications and weapons systems. This trend has put increased demands on the RF performance of optical links to achieve ever improved Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) capabilities. Hear the current capabilities, integration techniques, system performance enhancements and lessons learned in the deployment of Fiber Optic Antenna Links (FOAL). The presenters shall provide a technical overview of the critical design elements, component specifications and generic link budget analysis required to identify and assess RF Photonic Links as key building blocks in antenna remoting.

Tactical RF Photonics: Increased Separation Distances Between Personnel and Deployed Antenna Assets

April 13th, 2010 - Posted in Announcements | Articles | Featured

The current nature of battle field communications requires the operator to have tactical systems that are not only environmentally rugged, but also offer expanded capabilities. This technical feature will provide a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for tactical radio remoting. Specifically designed to support the PRC-117 and the ARC-210 radio sets, this technology is easily transferable to other software defined radio sets.
