Telecom RF-over-Fiber Module Design

I need a compact, carrier-grade RF-over-Fiber module engineered specifically for telecommunications links. The goal is to move an RF signal from a remote antenna site to my baseband equipment with the lowest possible noise, excellent linearity, and rock-solid gain flatness across the target band we will finalise together during kickoff.

Scope of work
• Translate my high-level link budget into a full electrical-optical-electrical design, covering the laser driver, optical modulator, photodiode front-end, biasing, RF amplification, and control electronics.
• Produce complete schematics, PCB stack-ups, Gerber files, and a BOM with ordering part numbers that are actually in stock.
• Simulate performance (ADS, Keysight PathWave, or similar) and document noise figure, IP3, and gain plots to prove the design meets telecom-grade requirements.
• Guide first-article manufacturing and provide tuning instructions so the unit is ready for lab validation.

Acceptance criteria
1. End-to-end link gain and flatness within the limits we agree.
2. Noise figure and linearity demonstrated by screenshots or lab data.
3. Deliverables: native design files, Gerbers, BOM, simulation reports, and a brief test plan.

If you combine RF design expertise with practical fiber-optic experience, I’m ready to start immediately and move quickly toward a prototype.
