Abstract

The performance of a commercially available 1.3μm, single mode fiber-optic link is characterized in terms of parameters relevant to microwave and RF engineers. In particular, key link performance parameters are evaluated such as insertion loss, input/output VSWR, bandwidth, noise, compression point, intermodulation distortion (IMD) and dynamic range. A description of performance limitation factors is included for each of these parameters.
