IQTransmitter

IQTransmitter

The IQTransmitter enables quick and simple generation of optical complex modulation formats such as QPSK, 16QAM in an all-in-one benchtop package. With its optical polarization multiplexer, generation of dual-polarization signals of any modulation format from single RF data input is also possible

Capabilities

  • Generate complex modulation formats such as QPSK and n-QAM
  • Generate dual polarization multiplexed signal from single RF input
  • Generate single optical carrier OFDM signals
  • Manual or automatic bias control and optimization
