Abstract
The Power over Fibre technique allows to power remote electronics without using copper cables. Avoiding any interaction between the antenna and its power/signal cable is attractive in the case of testing systems where the evaluation of antenna and/or array performance are crucial parameters under investigation. This is the case of the Sardina Array Demonstrator, an Italian SKA testing platform. In this work is evaluated the applicability of this technology in order to power the electronics of the antennas which will form SAD. The results of an extensive measurement campaign, with respect to both temperature and fibre length, of commercial PoF receivers, is here presented.
