12Gb/s Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)Transceiver Component Evaluation Card
Sponsored by: Space Coast Photonics
Our project is to design a prototype or proof of
concept transceiver evaluation card that is scalable
down to the standardized small form-factor
Pluggable (SFP+) module size. This transceiver
card will be able to transmit and receive data in
the 10-12Gb/s data rate range and capable of
long-range transmissions of 75-80km for wavelengths
of 1550nm and 40-50km for 1310nm. Our
receiver sensitivity will also be more sensitive
with lower error rates than industry competitors.
Aaron Carnahan will receive his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and minor in Intelligent Robotics Systems in December of 2021. While attending UCF he has interned at Aeronix, Inc. and spent two summers as an intern with Lockheed Martin. Upon graduation he will transition to a full-time employee with Lockheed Martin Space working as an electronics engineer. He plans to obtain a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at a later point in time.
Tyler Adams will receive his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering in December of 2021. While attending UCF he interned at Harris Corporation and continued with them after they became L3Harris Technologies for three summers. He also worked at the UCF Recreation and Wellness Center for three and a half years during his time at UCF as a Climbing Tower Attendant. Upon graduation he will be taking a full-time position with L3Harris Technologies in Colorado Springs, CO as a software engineer. He hopes to obtain a master’s degree at a later point in time once he determines what he wants to focus on more specifically in his career.
Jake Riffee will receive his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering in December of 2021. While attending UCF he had internships at MACOM, Leonardo DRS, and Space Coast Photonics. He is still actively looking for a full time electrical or computer engineering position. After gaining a few years of working experience, Jake hopes to pursue a master’s degree in his field of interest.
