DESCRIPTION
The IQ/QAM Transmitter is a high performance modulation evaluation unit that allows user to produce optical signals with complex modulation schemes (QPSK, QAM, OFDM). It integrates high bandwidth dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator and high speed RF drivers capable of dealing with data rate up to 56 Gbps. It features an embedded bias controller that allows to automatically set the modulator operating point.
FEATURE
