Features of the transmission of microwave signals in the range of 8-12 GHz in the maritime radar station over fiber-optic communication line

Abstract

The presented work demonstrates a new design of a fiber-optic line of microwave signal transmission for the receiving path of the maritime radar station. The features of microwave signals transmission in the maritime radar station are established. New designs of the transmitting and receiving modules have been developed in view of the established features. The transmitting module is based on the Mach-Zehnder electro-optical modulator. The receiving module contains p-i-n diode that is based on heterostructures. The results of experimental studies are presented.
