DESCRIPTION
TheOZ101SeriesofMiniature,BroadbandRFoFLinksareusedforavarietyofRFover
Fiber (RFoF) Applications. The OZ101 Series are small, lightweight, costeffective
modularcomponents.TheLinkdelivershighSpuriousFreeDynamicRange(SFDR)with
operationalfrequenciesfrom30MHzto3.0GHz,ormore.
TheOZ101SeriesLinkconsistsofindividualTxandRxModules,connectedviaoptical
fiber (usually Single Mode Fiber), which offer an excellent alternative to using coaxial
cablesystems.Itprovidessignificantimprovementinthetransportofhighfrequency

measurements. Optical Zonus Fiber Optic Links enable the measurement of the
radiationpatternofsmallantennaswithoutanycoaxialcableinterferenceeffects.The
productfamilywasdesignedtoenablethetestingofhandheldcellulartelephonesand
emerging LTE (employing Antenna Diversity) devices, operating from the low voltage
battery supply of the phone itself (down to +3.7 Volts). Experimental results have
demonstratedthattheuseoflegacyRFcoaxialcablestronglydisturbstheantennagain
andradiationpatternsforbothpolarizationcomponents.Withverysimpleintegration
atlowcost,ourOZ101SeriesLinkscancharacterizeradiationpatternsofbothnarrow
and UWB compact antennas. Studies which compared both measured and simulated
results, demonstrated excellent agreement (1 dB) for copolarization in the different
cutplanes.Atverylowpowerlevelmeasurements,andathighfrequencies,standard
RFoFproducts,whicharetypically3inchesby5inches,orlarger,areconsideredtoobig

ThestandardopticalconnectorsuppliedisSC/APC(FC/APCorLC/APCareavailable).All
optical connectors are AnglePolished (APC) for low back reflection operation. The

upon a linear Isolated DFB Laser operating at 1.3 or1.5 m (A) over 9/125m Single
