Abstract

For many spacecraft and avionic applications, weight, size and layout flexibility are critical parameters for transmission media. This paper describes the advantages of using RF fiber optic links as replacements for waveguides and coaxial cable, and describes the measured performance of a 2.85 to 3.15 GHz link and a widehand 2 to 12 GHz link.
