We report the first implementation of fiber optics at 11 GHz in an experimental satellite communication EHF/SHF research terminal for airborne applications. Signal‐to‐noise and bit‐error rate were measured to characterize the system after a 100‐m‐long fiber optic link replaced a 4‐ft‐long coaxial cable to enable X‐band signal remoting.
