Characteristics of an Optical Delay Line for Radar Testing.

摘要

The Naval Research Laboratory has conducted a systems characterization study of an RF Optical Delay Line Link pertinent to radar applications. In this report, we describe the RF performance characteristics of a Miteq fiber-optical delay line, a commercial product from Miteq. The radar system parameters investigated were: small signal gain, 1 dB gain compression point, input/output Third Order intercept, and Phase Noise.
