Advances in broadband radio-over-fiber multigbit/s transmission links are presented. An optical double sideband with suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) spectrum is used to generate a mm-wave signal of outstanding performance. One sideband is modulated with baseband data rates of up to 10 Gbps. Transmission experiments prove this modulation scheme to be dispersion tolerant and error free transmission was demonstrated after 40 km of single mode fiber for data rates up to 5 Gbps. The limits of the setup were tested with data rates of 10 Gbps.Index Terms -Microwave photonics , optical frequency conversion, optical mixing, broadband wireless transmission.978-1-4244-1780-3/08/$25.00
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
