RFOptic, a globally renowned provider of RF over Fiber (RFoF) and Optical Delay Line (ODL) solutions, announced that it launched its RFoF Ultra product series to meet the demand of customers in the Electronic Warfare market who need coax replacement at frequencies of 100MHz to 12GHz and up to 18GHz.

The RFoF Ultra series shares the RFoF programmable series' small dimensions.

"At the request of our customers, we have developed our new RFoF Ultra product line for frequencies up to 18Ghz. The RFoF Ultra series is a cost-effective alternative for our standard RF over Fiber High SFDR up to 18GHz off-the-shelf solutions," stated Dr. Avner Sharon, RFOptic's CEO. 

Dr. Avner Sharon adds, "All RFoF Ultra products are supported by our Monitor and Control software designed to manage, monitor, and control RF over Fiber converters and RFoF systems locally or remotely, also in case of a standalone module (Tx or Rx)."

The compact Ultra modules are ideal for 1U 19" subsystem where up to 8 modules can be installed

The small RFoF Ultra is suitable for RFoF solution for 5G testing at 7.1GHz and above with better ACLR. The RFoF Ultra links provide a high dynamic range and can better handle 5G and 6G cellular traffic with better ACLR and EVM. 

Due to its size and structure, the Ultra product line can be installed in 2U high-density subsystems, accommodating up to 40 transmitters/ receivers or 20 half-bidirectional modules. Furthermore, the compact Ultra modules are ideal for 1U 19" subsystem where up to 8 modules can be installed in each enclosure.
