Radio Frequency signals are broadcast in free space and enable modern communication. In many cases the signals must be transported from a large source e.g. Transmitter to an antenna for broadcast. The connection is done via coax cables or waveguides for the higher frequencies. As the frequency goes higher and higher to accommodate the requirements…
Satellite technology is developing fast, and the applications for satellite technology are increasing all the time. Not only can satellites be used for radio communications, but they are also used for astronomy, weather forecasting, broadcasting, mapping and many more applications. With the variety of satellite frequency bands that can be used, designations have been developed…
The term RF Optics can be a confusing concept – hence we will try to clarify how, and when, it is actually being used within modern communication infrastructure. Both RF – which stands for Radio Frequency – and light are a form of radiation that differ only in the wavelength. RF cover bands from HF…

AS2-S11-S-GE-5 Media Converter Here is a question that we often receive from prospective new Customers of the Micro-OTDR: “I want to have the benefit of the Micro-OTDR feature in my network, but cannot afford to replace all of my Switch/Router equipment. How can I add the Micro-OTDR to an installed base of network equipment, which…
Eliminate Reflection Problems Which Plague Legacy SFSW SFPs Single Fiber Single Wavelength (SFSW) Transceivers transmit and receive at the same wavelength, on single fiber, doubling the optical fiber plant capacity. SFSW transceivers offer many potential benefits to the Network Operator – e.g. seamless CWDM integration, half the fiber, half the CWDM passives and easier fiber…
There are many aspects of a fiber optic communication system that need to be configured correctly for the system to work properly. Many times customers believe there is a problem with the equipment and that it needs repair when in actuality it is operator error. The most common issue with fiber optic links is a…
Mercedes Benz stadium wasn’t only the venue for the LIII Superbowl it was also a critical point for the world of Telecommunications. More than a million fans were expected to arrive in Atlanta for the Superbowl event, and the preparation for that event cost in the tens of millions for the Network providers. The need…
