  • RF measurement system incorporating a ream assembly and method of using the same
    Publication number: 20080238405
    Abstract: A radio-frequency (RF) measurement system for measuring a reflection coefficient an RF device under test (DUT) incorporates a reflection mode electro-absorption modulator (REAM) assembly coupled to the RF DUT. Also included in the measurement system, is a first optical fiber coupled to the REAM assembly, the first optical fiber configured to propagate a first optical signal into the REAM assembly and propagate a first reflected optical signal out of the REAM assembly. Furthermore, a second optical fiber is also coupled to the REAM assembly, the second optical fiber configured to propagate a second optical signal into the REAM assembly and propagate a second reflected optical signal out of the REAM assembly.
