  • Multiple high frequency bands small form factor pluggable receiving unit
    Patent number: 9363019
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a small form factor pluggable (SFP) unit for receiving multiple high frequency bands optical signals. The SFP unit comprises an optical connector for receiving an optical signal and means for generating two electrical signals based on the received optical signal. The SFP unit comprises two transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) operating respectively at two determined ranges of frequencies, for respectively amplifying the first and second electrical signals. The SFP unit comprises a re-clocker for generating a re-clocked electrical signal based on either one of, or a combination of, the first and second amplified electrical signals. The SFP unit comprises a control unit for controlling the operating frequency of the re-clocker based on a determined quality of the re-clocked electrical signal. The SFP unit comprises an electrical connector for outputting the re-clocked electrical signal.
