“…One of the main disadvantages of RFoF systems is that they require high-speed circuit design and high-performance photonic devices, therefore increasing the power consumption and the overall cost of the DAS significantly. Moreover, at higher frequencies [21], there are undesired effects such as power penalty, fading, and nonlinearities, that induce spectrum broadening of baseband data, around the carrier signal [15,[22][23][24][25][26].…”

Wireless broadband access networks have been positioning themselves as a good solution for manufacturers and users of IoT (internet of things) devices, due mainly to the high data transfer rate required over terminal devices without restriction of information format. In this work, a review of two Radio over Fiber strategies is presented. Both have excellent performance and even offer the possibility to extend wireless area coverage where mobile networks do not reach or the 802.11 network presents issues. Radio Frequency over Fiber (RFoF) and intermediate Frequency over Fiber (IFoF) are two transmission strategies compatible with the required new broadband services and both play a key role in the design of the next generation integrated optical–wireless networks, such as 5G and Satcom networks, including on RAU (Remote Antenna Unit) new functionalities to improve their physical dimensions, employing a microelectronic layout over nanometric technologies.

“…RF-over-fiber transmission systems, in which RF signal modulates the intensity of a light source and are then transmitted over optical fiber to a remote unit, are attracting an increasing amount of attention [8][9][10] . Such links have several advantages, including i) relatively low installation and maintenance costs; ii) immunity to the harsh RF and electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) often found in industrial environments; and ii) greatly improved physical-layer security compared to over-the-air wireless links.…”

“…8 shows different output waveform varies with the increased input voltage. We can see the output sequence saturates more and more in the center of the waveform with input voltage's increasing, which indicates increased signal power takes more percentage above the quantization noise.…”

“…The second type PWI IC realized in 0.25-μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology detects and amplifies baseband optical data, performs binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation in 60 GHz, and produces 60-GHz BPSK signal for baseband-over-fiber scheme. Initial measurement results for this PWI IC were reported in [14]. This paper is organized as follows.…”

We present two types of Si photonics-wireless interface (PWI) integrated circuits (ICs) realized in standard Si technology. Our PWI ICs convert optical signals into radio-frequency (RF) signals for downlink remote antenna units in fiber-wireless networks. Characterization and modeling of Si avalanche photodetectors (APDs) fabricated in two different Si technologies are carried out and used for PWI IC design. A 5-GHz RF-over-fiber PWI IC composed of APD, preamplifier, and power amplifier (PA) is fabricated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology and its performance is verified by 54-Mb/s wireless local area network data transmission. A 60-GHz baseband-over-fiber PWI IC containing APD, baseband photoreceiver, 60-GHz binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulator, and 60-GHz PA is realized in 0.25-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. Error-free transmission of 1.6-Gb/s BPSK data in 60 GHz with this PWI IC is successfully achieved.
