Small Integrated Receiver Unit
SIRU2300-XZ
0.05 – 1 GHz
The Emcore Small Integrated Receiver Unit (SIRU2300) is a high-performance
optical receiver with guaranteed performance over the 50 MHz to 1 GHz
frequency band. The SIRU2300-XZ is a fully integrated unit that contains the
high frequency photodiode, RF amplifier and the control electronics. Only DC
input voltages and the optical input signal are required for operation.
The unit contains an internal ITU wavelength optical filter to provide high
isolation for multi-channel DWDM systems.
The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for antenna
remoting, microwave delay lines and other applications where it is necessary to
transport RF and microwave signals over long distances without signal
degradation.
Applications
ꢀCellular and PCS Antenna-
Remoting
The SIRU2300-XZ is an ideal receiver to use with Emcore’s high-performance
directly modulated SITU2400-XZ fiber optic transmitters.
