Abstract

A novel 6-GHz lightwave/microwave transceiver module has been demonstrated which combines AT&T´s advanced lightwave packaging (ALP) technology with GE´s monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) module technology. The optical transceiver module produced 11 dB of RF-to-RF gain over an octave bandwidth of 3-6 GHz. The ALP is miniaturized so that it may be integrated within a transmit, receive (T/R) module package or as a stand-alone small-size optical transceiver
