In the words of Dr. Christina Lim, Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne: “This product is an excellent integrated optical-to-electrical converter with sufficient gain for fiber-based radio applications in the 60 GHz band. With this Discovery photoreceptor, we were able to achieve error-free reception of 1.8 Gb/s BPSK (limited by our closed-loop phase) at 60 GHz with an optical received power of -9 dBm. It opens the door to exciting remote antenna applications in this increasingly popular band, supported by fiber optic network connections.”.


Optical receptor 1p“This V-band optical receiver is important for many emerging communication applications, including mobile broadband service allocation for street-to-home access, and high-speed data Bluetooth 60 GHz technology,” adds Donald Becker, coherent systems manager at Discovery Semiconductors.
