23 GHz Photodiode, Module

PART NUMBER : PD-23-M-AC

The Optilab PD-23-M is a 23 GHz photodiode module designed for RF over Fiber, antenna remoting, and broadband RF transmission applications using single mode optical. The PD-23-M can accept input power of up to 35 mW. The PD-23-M utilizes a high input power, low distortion PIN photodiode that provides optical to RF conversion out to the frequency range beyond 20 GHz. This compact, cost-effective receiver module can provide users with status monitoring through the use of an on-board processor that communicates toa host computer over an RS-232 I/O interface via a standard USB 2.0 port. When the PD-23-M RF over fiber receiver module is linked with the LT series of RF over fiber transmitter modules, the combination provides an excellent solution for ultra-wideband RF to fiber conversion applications.
