Timing Link

WAVE – Stabilized RF over Fiber Link

Lowest noise RF over Fiber transmission

Wide range RF transfer (5/10/100 MHz and [1 GHz – 4 GHz])
Stability better than state-of-the-art masers
Modular & configurable
Synchronous time signals (1PPS, IRIG & NTP)

Description

WAVE Link allows precise transmission of frequency and time signals to kilometer distances using optical fibers with stability better than state-of-the-art masers.

It consist of a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) unit, both equipped with advanced Cycle electro-optical modulation and fiber optic delay stabilization technology.
Its modular design enables application-specific configurations, including stable 1PPS, IRIG & NTP transfer, time interval counters, phase/frequency meters, and GNSS tracking and referencing.

Applications

Clock or RF signal transfer over long distances
GPS distribution
Maser distribution
Atomic clock distribution
Particle accelerators
Radio telescope arrays
