Abstract
We report design, fabrication, and test of a monolithic GaAs IC implementing a broadband optically-driven digital/analog RF interface. The circuit operates in an asynchronous mode to detect AM digital and RF on a single optical fiber input, control RF level, and transmit the RF to the output.<>
