RF/Microwaves via Fiberoptics??

[Marco Licetti]

Is anyone ecxperimenting with RF transmission via Fiberoptics?

For antenna remoting, etc RF-over-fiberoptic I found Miteq (www.miteq.com)
is the best, somehwhat EXPENSIVE but tech specs are best in the world
(noise, gain flatness, etc). And Miteq is using German lasers!

As you know fiberoptic is the ONLY solution for LOSSLESS &
SAFE transmitting RF over a long distance e.g. from antennas, on
ship/aircraft, etc because first unlike Coax cable fiber doesn't suffer from
excessive loss (you can have a 10-kilometer link no problem!), second it's
hard to intercept (if you break fiber it iwll be notices, while Coax cable
can be tapped in illegally), third it's immensely interference-immune, etc,
etc. though mor eexpensive.

That we found perfcect for Antenna remoting when facilities cannot be built
near each antenna (antenna array), also for spying/military application
fiber is safer than coax cble, and finally on aircrafts, etc you would
prefer fiberoptic due to its immunity to interference (life-safety issues).
So www.miteq.com I found by clicking on "components & assemblies" (NOT
satellite comm)-->the clicked "fiberoptic products", they even posted
datasheets and brochures there (maybe too much info!)

Umh...

Excuse me, but I never heard of RF transmission by fibers. They transmit
light, that is to say electromagnetic waves of enormously higher
frequency than radio waves THz against GHz. It might work with very
thick fibers (10mm and more?)
You must mean that you modulate the antenna signal unto lightwaves and
use optical transmission to bridge bigger distances. At the other end,
you retranslate in order to regenerate the original signal?
All this is used already for a long, long time in data transmission :
telephone, internet etc.
So, what exactly is new in your "discovery"
