TIDA-01573: RF to Optical Conversion Scheme

Category: Hardware
Product Number: ADN8810

Below is my requirement of RF Signal Transmission on Fiber

  1. Core Function

    • Transmit 100MHz RF signals over 1550nm optical fiber

    • 2mW optical output power with ±5% stability

  2. Key Constraints

    • No bias tee: Direct RF+DC summing on PCB is preferable than any external summing module

    • No TEC: Passive thermal management only, application doesnt require one

    • Single PCB solution: Fully integrated design, most preferablly

Is there any solution done like this from ADI , i could not find any reference design also 

I was sucessful in designing RF Rx and TTL Rx, and TTL Tx with help of ADI solutions and complete analog chain, but sending RF over Fiber is little tricky part i am stuck and need some reference

NOTE: Here the signal is RF not a TTL or LVDS like in most reference designs i see are around LIDAR or Optical Gbpgs Transmitters
