Abstract

When asked to demonstrate the performance of fiber optics engineers often resort to hundreds of thousand dollars worth of test equipment including plotters and displays to show a screen view and to prove the viability of the photonic system. This paper will present a relatively inexpensive and unusual method of allowing visitors to see and hear operation of a microwave link versus that of a coaxial coupled RF link.
