FBG Transceiver™
The FBG-Transceiver™ system is a miniature, lightweight, and power-efficient fiber-optic Bragg-grating sensor interrogator. This product line offers the capability of interrogating from 1 FBG sensor up-to 12 FBG sensors in a single FBG fiber array. It also offers the multi-fiber interrogation capability to monitor from 1 to 32-fiber channels, each fiber channel with up-to 12 FBG sensors on a single fiber array. The FBG Transceiver™ line is available with USB communication with sample rates of the order of 40-ksamples/sec for each FBG sensors, as well as Wi-Fi and Ethernet communication.
