Inter-BSs virtual private network for privacy and security enhanced 60 GHz radio-over-fiber system

A novel inter-basestations (inter-BSs) based virtual private network (VPN) for the privacy and security enhanced 60 GHz radio-over-fiber (RoF) system using optical code-division multiplexing (OCDM) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. By establishing inter-BSs VPN overlaying the network structure of a 60 GHz RoF system, the express and private paths for the communication of end-users under different BSs can be offered. In order to effectively establish the inter-BSs VPN, the OCDM encoding/decoding technology is employed in the RoF system. In each BS, a 58 GHz millimeter-wave (MMW) is used as the inter-BSs VPN channel, while a 60 GHz MMW is used as the common central station (CS)–BSs communication channel. The optical carriers used for the downlink, uplink and VPN link transmissions are all simultaneously generated in a lightwave-centralized CS, by utilizing four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The obtained results properly verify the feasibility of our proposed configuration of the inter-BSs VPN in the 60 GHz RoF system.     

System-on-Packaging with Electroabsorption Modulator for a 60-GHz Band Radio-Over-Fiber Link

A system-on-packaging (SoP) with an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) for a 60 GHz band radio-over-fiber (RoF) link is described. The system consists of an EAM device, a microstrip filter, and a low noise amplifier (LNA). The microstrip filter was used to achieve impedance matching between the EAM device and the LNA and to reject the local oscillator (LO) frequency of the heterodyne system. The frequency response and the effect of the EAM bias voltage were measured for a simple RF/optical link. A 60 GHz band RoF link with 2.5 GHz intermediate frequency (IF) was prepared to measure the transmission characteristics of the 16 QAM data.     

A novel scheme to implement duplex 60-GHz radio-over-fiber link with 20-GHz double-sideband optical millimeter-wave transmitted along the fiber

A duplex radio-over-fiber (RoF) link with a novel scheme to generate 60-GHz millimeter (mm)-wave using 20 GHz double sideband (DSB) optical mm-wave with signal carried only by its optical carrier is investigated. In the RoF downlink, the modulation frequency to generate the DSB optical mm-wave is reduced greatly. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that this scheme cannot only eliminate the code form distortion caused by the time shifting of the sidebands, but also reduce the influence of the fading effect as the DSB optical mm-wave signal is transmitted along the fiber. Based on the scheme, the duplex RoF link with the frequency up- (down-) conversion of the down- (up-) link mm-wave signal is built and the uplink transmission performance is analyzed theoretically.     

Simultaneous all-optical frequency downconversion technique utilizing an SOA-MZI for WDM radio over fiber (RoF) applications

Simultaneous all-optical frequency-downconversion technique utilizing a semiconductor optical amplifier Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SOA-MZI) is experimentally demonstrated, and its application to a wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) radio over fiber (RoF) uplink is proposed. The conversion efficiencies from 22.5 (f/sub RF/) to 2.5 GHz (f/sub IF/=f/sub RF/-2f/sub LO/) are in the range from 1.5 to 3 dB for the optical RF wavelength between 1548 and 1558 nm. Error-free simultaneous all-optical frequency downconversion of the two WDM RoF upstream channels that carry 155-Mb/s differential phase-shift keying data at 22.5 GHz to an optical intermediate frequency signal having the frequency of 2.5 GHz with the power penalty less than 0.1 dB at the bit error rate of 10/sup -8/ is achieved.     

Full-Duplex 60-GHz RoF System With Optical Local Oscillating Carrier Distribution Scheme Based on FWM Effect in SOA

A full-duplex 60-GHz radio-over-fiber (RoF) system using novel optical local oscillating (LO) carrier distribution scheme to reduce the system cost and realize centralized management is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed scheme, the optical LO carriers for producing remote electrical LO signals at the base stations (BSs) are generated together with the downlink RoF carriers at the central station (CS) via four-wave-mixing effect in semiconductor optical amplifier, and are then distributed to the BSs along with the downlink RoF signals. By down-converting the 60-GHz-band uplink signal with the remotely produced 60-GHz LO signal and reusing the optical LO carriers as the uplink optical source, only a cost-effective intermediate frequency modulator is required at each BS to transmit the uplink signal, which will dramatically reduce the whole system budget due to a large amount of BSs. Moreover, the operating frequency of each BS can be controlled remotely at the CS end to realize centralized management and convenient reconfiguration. Using the proposed scheme, 622-Mb/s signals for both directions are successfully transmitted over a 20-km single-mode fiber link and a 50-cm wireless channel with less than 0.1- and 0.2-dB power penalty for downlink and uplink, respectively.      

Multi-band QPSK signal transmission implemented with remote up-conversion and Schottky RF detectors in a 60-GHz millimeter wave radio-over-fiber system

A simple multi-band QPSK signal transmission scheme, constructed by using an optical remote up-conversion technique and a Schottky diode RF detector, is theoretically analyzed and experimentally implemented in a 60-GHz millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio over fiber (RoF) system, for the first time. There is no need for complex system architecture or any expensive high-frequency clock source in our scheme. Simulation results show that our scheme is highly tolerant to fiber dispersion, compared with the conventional 60 GHz multi-band RoF system. In the experimental demonstration, successful delivery of QPSK signals at two 60-GHz sub-bands is achieved over 50-km fiber and 4-m wireless distance.     

Impact of nonlinear distortion in radio over fiber systems with single-sideband and tandem single-sideband subcarrier modulations

In radio over fiber (RoF) systems, two subcarrier modulations (SCMs), i.e., single-sideband (SSB) and tandem single-sideband (TSSB), have been widely used. Both SSB and TSSB SCMs can be obtained using optical Mach-Zehnder modulators. In this paper, the authors theoretically investigate the impact of harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion in RoF systems for one wavelength carrying two radio frequency (RF) signals with either SSB or TSSB SCM. It is found that nonlinear distortion can be reduced when the frequency difference of two RF signals is /spl sim/ 1 GHz compared with /spl sim/ 2 GHz and higher for both TSSB and SSB SCMs, particularly for large modulation indexes. When the frequency difference of RF signals is /spl sim/ 2 GHz and beyond, either a small modulation index or a medium modulation index combined with a minimum RF of 6 GHz must be used, and a large modulation index cannot be used due to serious nonlinear distortion. Comparison of SSB and TSSB SCMs with uniform distribution of optical signal subcarriers in a dense wavelength-division-multiplexing RoF system with channel spacing of 12.5 GHz shows by simulation that SSB SCM is better (worse) than TSSB SCM for small (large) modulation indexes.     

Key technologies and system design for various radio over fiber applications

Key technologies and new system designs for various radio over fiber (RoF) applications are proposed and demonstrated. For ultrawideband (UWB) over fiber applications, several UWB pulses generation and distribution methods are carried out. Different kinds of UWB pulses are generated based on cross-polarization modulation methods. For millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless applications, a 32 GHz RoF system is demonstrated with microwave frequency sextupling by optical methods. After 20 km SMF transmission, the power penalty of 2.5 Gbit/s downlink service is less than 0.15 dB. It is also suitable to apply dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology to RoF system to support numerous base stations (BSs).
