Optical Delay Lines Up to 6GHz
High Performance High Frequency Optical Delay Line (ODL) solutions for testing and calibrating radar systems and RF communications
| Product | Bands |
| 2.5GHz low frequency ODL | Up to L band (up to 2.5GHz) |
| 4.0GHz low frequency ODL | Up to S band (up to 4GHz) |
| 6.0GHz low frequency ODL | Up to C band (up to 6GHz) |
RFOptic provides any fixed time delay between 1ns to 1000μs. Most of customers prefer progressive Optical Delay Line (ODL) architecture which can provide 2n states. That is a cost effective and compact solution which reduces the number of delay segments while increasing the number of available delay values.
The ODL may be operated as a standalone unit manually controlled from the front panel screen and keys. It can also be controlled externally using a USB or Web based interfaces including REST and HTML.
In general, RFOptic offer two groups of low frequency ODLs:
- Any type of fixed or progressive ODL of up to 6.0GHz with direct modulation (L, S, & C bands).
- RADAR Altimeter Test, providing a high-performance solution for testing and calibration of radar altimeter systems.
Optical Delay Lines features include:
- Typical delay accuracy: <0.5%
- Control: Front panel and remote through a USB/RJ-45 port
- Delay range: 1ns to 1000μs
- Delay steps: 4,096 delay steps or more
- High Dynamic Range
- Switching time from 0.1ms
