Integrated VCOs pack in more microwave functions
Now available from Link Microtek is a new range of low-cost, plastic-packaged MMIC voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that feature a high level of integrated functionality.
These "form-factor-agnostic" 10Gbit/s optical engines are based on the company's proprietary planar packaging technology, which allows integration of increased functionality such as internal drivers and differential data inputs.
The 40km XFP transceiver, the NLX40, uses the cooled TQube 1000 engine and an RQube P1000 PIN receiver, whereas the NLX80 uses the cooled TQube 1000 engine and an RQube A1000 APD receiver to provide transmission up to 80km.
TriQuint's XFP transceivers offer low power dissipation (less than 4W) at 70C case temperature.
Receiver sensitivity for the NLX80 XFP is -26dBm (or better) - performance that makes this product one of the industry's best.
The new transceivers are designed for use in network transmission systems and operate at Sonet OC-192 standard and FEC rates, and for SDH, they operate at STM-64 standard and FEC rates, according to the ITU-T G.959.1 and G.691 standards.
For high-speed datacommunications, the transceivers can operate at both 10G Ethernet rate and 10G Fibre Channel rate according to the IEEE802.3ae standards.
