Teledyne e2v: Advanced optical digital harness (ODH) set to unleash novel multi-element microwave antennas
- Written by Viw Magazine
Links to transfer data, clock, configuration, and even system-wide synchronization signalling marks the arrival of practical multi-element smart digital antennas
Newsworthy pointers- Streaming sample, control & configuration data, as well as reference clock and synchronization signals via optical fibers simplifies signal distribution and reduces cable mass in complex digital radio designs
- Eliminates all copper signal wiring in future radios offering increased architectural flexibility whilst reducing crosstalk and inter-channel interference
- Concept substantiates a separation of front-end analog design from back-end digital signal processing heralding the arrival of fully digital antennas
