Design emphasizes maintenance of stable frequency despite changes in temperature. Fiber-optic link delivers highly stable 100-MHz reference-frequency signal to receiver at distance of about 700 m from source of signal. Similar fiber-optic links used to transmit stable reference-frequency signals in other applications in which variations in temperature otherwise potentially cause variations in signal-propagation times and cause undesired variations in frequency. Use of fiber-optic link to transmit radio signal as modulation on optical carrier signal described previously in "Diplex Fiber-Optic Link for Frequency and Time Signals" (NPO-18180), and "Improved Microwave Fiber-Optic Link" (NPO-19007).
