Optical fiber provides a cost-effective solution for long coaxial cable runs in GNSS / GPS timing distribution systems. The Optical Zonu GPS over Fiber Optics System allows signals to be carried from an antenna to a GNSS / GPS receiver with minimal signal degradation over a non-conducting dielectric glass media. This system provides a completely transparent cross-site connection between an antenna and receiver. As is the case in many types of in-building environments, networks require accurate clock synchronization. By utilizing broadband analog over or RF over Fiber Optics (RFoF) Technology, Optical Zonu GNSS / GPS over Fiber Optics Links provide easy to operate, low cost and reliable solutions that enable GNSS /. GPS signal distribution using fiber optic cable.

The broad bandwidth (20 MHz to 3.0 GHz) of the RFoF transceivers used in our GNSS / GPS over Fiber Optics Link allows transmission of the two main signals in the GNSS / GPS band, L1 and L2, at 1575.42 MHz and 1227.6 MHz respectively. This GNSS / GPS over Fiber Link is designed to offer a low noise figure by integrating a built-in LNA with Lasers featuring low Relative intensity Noise (RIN) and low loss broadband matching, in order to optimize the Link performance. Optical Zonu’s GNSS / GPS RFoF Link consists of stand-alone analog (linear) transmitter and receiver units. Patented antenna status and fiber monitoring can be implemented similarly to the carrier grade solution.
