Boston, MA, February 28, 2003. UK-based LA Techniques, a European supplier of low cost pattern generators for the fiberoptic telecom component industry, is exhibiting for the first time at this month's OFC show in Atlanta, where it will be showcasing its range of pulse pattern generators, data driver amplifiers and related components.
The company, which has grown steadily over the last five years, will be exhibiting with its new US partner Optimark Fiber Optics of Boston, (Hall B, Booth 2). The two companies reached an agreement in December 2002 that involves the US partner in sales, distribution and acting as LA Techniques' representatives throughout North America.
Among the LA Techniques products highlighted at OFC will be the highly successful LA 19-02-01 12 Gb/s and the LA 19-01-01 2.7Gb/s pulse pattern generators.
The LA 19-02-01 is a pseudo random pulse pattern generator capable of operation of up to 12 Gb/s. It can accommodate two internal clock generators and also accepts an external clock input.It provides a fast pulse output up to 4 Vpp suitable for applications such as testing high bit rate communication components, fast pulse amplifiers and high speed logic circuit development. The LA 19-01-01 operates up to 2.7 Gb/s and provides a fast rise time and low pulse distortion. It can also accommodate two internal clock generators and an external clock output and provides a clean pulse output suitable for applications such as optical communications, fast pulse amplifiers and high-speed logic circuit development.
Both products have established an international pedigree in production testing and development applications, where a fully-featured pattern generator is not always necessary.
LA Techniques Ltd develops and manufactures products for broadband telecom equipment by applying expertise in microwaves and rf to high-speed digital and analogue circuits, such as data driver amplifiers, pattern generators and pulse shaping circuits. It also offers consultancy in these related fields. Its headquarters is at Claygate near Esher in Surrey, where research and development and manufacturing is carried out.
