The use of fiber optics is considered herein as a means to distribute Radio Frequency (RF) signals across Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). The use of fiber optics is studied with an emphasis on reducing inter-board Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). High performance RF circuits are especially sensitive to EMI and other Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), resulting in poor circuit to circuit isolation, spurious signals, additional filtering requirements, and increased shielding constraints. Fiber-optic ...
