Design and Performance of Ka-Band Fiber-Optic Delay Lines

Abstract

The principles of fiber-optic delay lines (FODLs) are summarized and an example design is provided. The performance of two packaged FODLs is detailed including four-port S Parameters, noise figure, single-sideband phase noise, single-sideband amplitude noise, compression dynamic range and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR).
