Montena MOL3000 Optical Link 80 Hz to 3.5 GHz
The optical link is designed for the transmission of analogue electric signals (CW and pulses) from 80 Hz to 3.5 GHz. The signal is conditioned and converted into an analogue optical signal in the transmitter module and is sent to the optical receiver through a fibre optic cable. The receiver module converts back the optical signal into an electrical signal. Both transmitter and receiver modules are shielded and are powered with embedded rechargeable batteries. The receiver includes an automatic gain control to maintain precise and constant performance. The optical link is typically used in measurement set-ups using electric or magnetic field sensors or with current probes.
