20 GHz Linear InGaAs Optical Receiver
Description:
The DSC-R401HG is a linear and versatile PIN + transimpedance amplifier suited for a variety of digital and analog applications. The R401HG offers a linear response to > +3 dBm optical input, 600mVp-p of linear output voltage, 20 GHz of RF bandwidth and a conversion gain of 160 V/W. The R401HG is available in both a K-connector package, and a miniature surface mount package with CPW (coplanar waveguide) RF output, and utilizes Discovery's high-reliability InGaAs photodiode technology.
