Data Sheet: F-GPSF

The F-GPSF fiber link is a transmitter

and receiver pair used to transmit the RF

Carrier signal from a GPS antenna to a

remote location up to 10 Km. There are

many advantages to converting the GPS

Carrier to an optical signal. Fiber Optic cable is much less expensive than low loss coaxial cable used

for RF signals. It is also much smaller and easier to work with. Optical signals are not affected by RF

interference, therefore this system can be used to transport a GPS signal through a noisy RF

environment. The F-GPSF can also be used to transport the signal from a single GPS antenna to a

multitude of locations throughout a building, aircraft, or ship.
