Priority 2 activities will only be initiated on the explicit request of at least one delegation. The main objective of this activity is to develop a fibre coupled, hermetically sealed packaged and impedance matched photodiode able to handle optical input power >120 mW when modulated with Ka band frequencies (>20 GHz) offering photonic RF links of very high dynamic range. Such Photonic RF links are employed extensively in most microwave-photonic PL designs currently under development by ESA. For the full description of this activity, please consult the telecom website: http://telecom.esa.int/telecom – ‘current and future tenders’. Procurement Policy: C(1) = Activity restricted to non-prime contractors (incl. SMEs). For additional information please go to EMITS news “Industrial Policy measures for non-primes, SMEs and R&D entities in ESA programmes”.
