SITU3000

DATA SHEET – MAY 2008 Externally Modulated Transmitter SITU3000 0.05 – 18 GHz, 1550nm Externally Modulated Self-Contained Transmitter The Emcore Small Integrated Transmitter Unit (SITU) is a high performance externally modulated transmitter for applications from 50 MHz to 18 GHz. The SITU3000 is a fully integrated unit that contains both the optics and the control electronics. Only DC input voltages and the RF signal are required for operation. Applications Microwave antenna signal distribution Broadband delay-line and signal processing systems Frequency distribution systems Radar system calibration Phased array antenna systems, interferometric antenna arrays The units can be used to construct transparent links for antenna remoting. The broad bandwidth is intended for applications such as electronic warfare and Ku band systems. Other applications include delay lines and signal processing systems. The system operates at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm. Wavelength selected lasers on the ITU grid are also available for WDM applications.
