RF/Microwave Photonic Data Links

IPITEK's products cover pure analog transmission for direct conversion to analog television signals, QAM transmission for digital video, internet, and other digital signals sent over the cable networks, and binary digital transmission for backbone networks. These all can be applied to government systems; however, analog transmission has received a lot of interest because sensors used by the defense department and other agencies can have their output directly impressed onto optical carriers by using analog modulation. This is attractive because it requires no analog-to-digital conversion or signal processing at the sensor itself. IPITEK is involved with high-performance versions of these analog links, developing applications and improved performance.
