Optoelectronic Receiver For Communication And ControlMany operational and diagnostic features integrated into circuit chip. GaAs-based integrated circuit designed to serve as optoelectronic interface in phased-array antenna. Intended function to receive digital control signals transmitted on optical fiber and to convert signals to electronic control signals, which then applied to monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). Also used in reception of high-rate optical digital communications within computers, between computers, and in signal-distribution systems in aircraft, automobiles, and ships. Interface circuit represents significant improvement over preexisting interface circuits in that its clock-signal-recovery subcircuit requires little or no preamble for immediate synchronization.
