PSI - 1600 SERIES

The PSI-1600 series is a family of high-performance microwave photonic links intended for antenna remoting or RF/IF signal distribution in military systems, satellite communications, radio astronomy, optical delay lines, cellular/wireless base stations or other applications.

The PSI-1601 is a unique amplifierless link offering wide dynamic range at a modest price. Also available are amplified versions; the PSI-1602 includes amplification at the TX module to optimize noise figure, the PSI-1603 employs amplification only at the RX module and the PSI-1604 includes amplification at both link ends, yielding +34dB of insertion gain.

All links feature very wide bandwidth of up to 12 GHz and low power consumption. This performance is achieved through a transmitter employing a precisely controlled electro-absorption modulator laser. The separate receiver module contains a sensitive, microwave bandwidth InGaAs photodiode. All modules are constructed in laboratory-grade housings and shipped with AC power supplies.
