The 5017-Series Delay System delivers unmatched performance for
radar testing, signal processing, phased antenna array, and phase
noise testing. The 5017 also provides unmatched convenience and
robustness because of its fully integrated fiber optics. All the fiber
interfaces are reliably fusion spliced internal to the box, thus eliminating
any handling and maintenance of optical connectors. The user only
needs to provide +5 and +15 volts, then plug in his RF connectors.
Emcore’s fiber-optic transceivers provide bandwidth that is essentially
independent of fiber length, loss or delay, and triple transit signals that
are immeasurable. In addition to enhanced electrical performance, the
delay lines provide several mechanical advantages. The small size of
these components allows for a long delay in a compact package with
the superior temperature stability of fiber. Emcore’s technology takes
advantage of the rigid yet flexible properties of fiber-optic cable to
provide repeatable enhanced phase and group delay characteristics.
Emcore’s Model 5017 consists of directly modulated DFB lasers and
photodiodes fabricated with mature, field-proven Ortel technology.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
