PSI - 2600 SERIES

The PSI-2600 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-2601 is an amplifierless link with wide spur-free dynamic range and high input intercept point for difficult RF environments. Also available are amplified versions; the PSI-2602 includes amplification at the TX side to optimize noise figure the PSI-2603 employs amplification only at the RX module and the PSI-2604 includes amplification at both link ends, yielding 27 dB of insertion gain. All links feature very wide bandwidth of up to 20 GHz and low power consumption.

This performance is achieved through a transmitter employing a precisely controlled lithium niobate modulator and a low noise DFB laser. The separate receiver module (identical to the module used in PSI-1600 series links) contains a sensitive, microwave bandwidth InGaAs photodiode. All modules are constructed in laboratory-grade housings and shipped with AC power supplies. Custom packaging and gain configurations are also available.
