EMCORE Introduces Military-Grade MAKO-X C/X-Band RF over Fiber Transceiver at Satellite 2022
March 22 2022 - 4:05PM
EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense,
communications, and sensing markets, announced today the
introduction of its military-grade MAKO-X C/X-Band RF over Fiber
Transceiver for electronic warfare systems, interfacility links,
antenna remoting, signal processing, and other high-dynamic-range
applications from 3.4 GHz to 8.4 GHz. This ruggedized flange-mount
transceiver module is tested to environmental MIL-STD-810G and EMI
& EMC MIL-STD-461F standards.
The MAKO-X reduces the need for complicated RF
copper and frequency up-down converter equipment in mobile
electronic warfare systems, with the benefit of lower maintenance
cost, less downtime, and increased safety in harsh environments.
This unique transceiver is an enabling technology for armored
carrier vehicles to deploy a remote antenna for satellite
uplink/downlink communications over high-speed fiber optics while
maintaining a safe distance for military personnel.
“Our new MAKO-X transceiver is a significant
breakthrough in fiber optic transmission technology for Aerospace
& Defense and Commercial applications,” said David
Wojciechowski, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business
Development of Defense Optoelectronics for EMCORE. “Leveraging our
advanced engineering capabilities in satellite communications,
EMCORE’s MAKO-X is the cutting edge, high-performance fiber optic
transceiver that our defense customers have been demanding,” added
Mr. Wojciechowski.
Building on EMCORE’s forty years of RF over fiber
expertise, the new MAKO-X transceiver module combines C/X-band
transmitter and receiver capability in a single highly-ruggedized
flange-mount package. It features full-duplex operation, high
spurious-free dynamic range of 105 dB-Hz, excellent phase noise of
-100 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz, and 1550 nm DWDM laser (1310 nm/1620 nm for
WDM),
EMCORE’s new MAKO-X transceiver will be showcased
at Satellite 2022, March 22-24 at the Walter E. Washington
Convention Center in Washington DC, booth #1333. For more
