Abstract :
High-speed fiber-optic delay lines for use in radar phase noise and repeater test sets are described. Both FM and AM signal-to-noise performance measurements of the X-band modulated (10-GHz) fiber-optic links for these applications are presented. Using long delay lines, improved measurement capability and flexibility was achieved with small components.<>
