GHz analog fiber optic repeater for radar MTI
Abstract
A 0.85 micrometer fiber optic repeater is assembled and characterized. It consists of an avalanche photodiode receiver, a wideband amplifier, and a laser diode transmitter. Characteristics investigated include pulse fidelity, dynamic range, noise figure, and frequency response. Good agreement between measurement and prediction is obtained for dynamic range and noise figure.
