Hello All,
So I have been looking for the easiest way of going about sending analog signals via an fiber optic cable and one of the ways is to go from analog signal to RF to fiber optic using this transmitter and receiver:
Receiver: http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...ader=search_go
Transmitter: http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...ader=search_go
However I have not found an analog to RF modulator or demodulator evaluation board or circuit that can do this. I know that RF to Fiber is how cable and internet companies send their information but I can't find any modulators / demodulators for analog signals within the 200 MHz to 5.5 GHz range. For the output I believe I can demodulate the RF signal from the Receiver with the use of NI DAQ. Also the only requirements for the signal is to have a sampling rate >= 10 MHz and >= 12bits of precision (Cost is also an issue: <$1000).
Any feedback and comments is greatly appreciated!
