Abstract

Compact wideband 10-Gbit/s optical transmitter and receiver circuit packs are realized using high speed analog and digital GaAs IC´s as well as a highly thermally conductive board and appropriately designed small function block modules that employ multichip packaging and resonant cavity mode damping. To achieve a compact receiver, the receiver circuit employs a clamp and peak-detector IC in the high speed analog equalizer amplifier to obtain a constant output direct current level for any mark density imbalance in the number of ones and zeros in the signal and a variable phase-shifter IC in the timing circuit. Realized circuit pack size is 200×280×15.24 mm and the power consumption of each pack is about 25 W
