Transmission Characteristics of 120-GHz-Band Wireless Link Using Radio-on-Fiber Technologies

The transmission characteristics of a 120-GHz-band millimeter-wave wireless link are described. The wireless link uses photonic technologies for generation, modulation, and transmission of millimeter-wave signals. This configuration enables set up of the photonic millimeter-wave generator and transmitter core separately; therefore, the wireless link can be used as a kind of radio-over-fiber system. The effects of transmitting 120-GHz-band optical subcarrier signals through single-mode fibers were theoretically and experimentally investigated. It was confirmed that the time shift of the code edges, because of chromatic dispersion, limits the transmission distance. A data stream at 10-Gbit/s was successfully transmitted over the 120-GHz-band millimeter-wave wireless link, with a bit error rate (BER) below $10^{-12}$ over a distance of 250 m. The results also demonstrated the stability of the wireless link, which satisfied the 10-Gb Ethernet standard under clear weather conditions.      

Multi-service small-cell cloud wired/wireless access network based on tunable optical frequency comb

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel multi-service wired/wireless integrated access architecture of cloud radio access network (C-RAN) based on radio-over-fiber passive optical network (RoF-PON) system, which utilizes scalable multiple-frequency millimeter-wave (MF-MMW) generation based on tunable optical frequency comb (TOFC). In the baseband unit (BBU) pool, the generated optical comb lines are modulated into wired, RoF and WiFi/WiMAX signals, respectively. The multi-frequency RoF signals are generated by beating the optical comb line pairs in the small cell. The WiFi/WiMAX signals are demodulated after passing through the band pass filter (BPF) and band stop filter (BSF), respectively, whereas the wired signal can be received directly. The feasibility and scalability of the proposed multi-service wired/wireless integrated C-RAN are confirmed by the simulations.

In this approach a multi-wavelength light source is obtained by supercontinuum (SC) technique, and mm-wave signals are obtained by using optical heterodyning method. We experimentally demonstrate the generation of optical carriers for 6-WDM channels, obtain 40 GHz mm-wave signals by employing optical heterodyne technique, and successfully achieve low error rate transmission of 2.5 Gbit/s in WDM channels over a distance of 25 km in a G.652 fiber. The experimental results verify that the proposed solution is feasible and cost effective.

Experiments on the optical generation and transmission of millimeter-wave radio signals are reported. The millimeter-wave signals are generated by heterodyning the optical spectral lines of a mode-locked laser (MLL) or of two or more semiconductor lasers at an optic/millimeter-wave converter (OMC). 70-, 140-, and 155-Mb/s data transmission experiments have been carried out successfully in optical single-channel and multichannel systems at radio frequencies of 12 GHz and 58-70 GHz. Bit-error-rate measurements yielded error-free transmission and no error floor was observed. A monolithically integrated tunable optical-signal source was developed and used for generating the millimeter-wave signals.

Multiband Signal Generation and Dispersion-Tolerant Transmission Based on Photonic Frequency Tripling Technology for 60-GHz Radio-Over-Fiber Systems

We designed and experimentally demonstrated an efficient photonic frequency-tripling technology for 60-GHz radio-over-fiber systems to simultaneously realize millimeter-wave (mm-wave), microwave, and baseband signal generation. The technique utilizes vestigial sideband filtering in combination with optical carrier suppression to generate novel alternate subcarrier modulation for high tolerance of fiber dispersion. Experimental verification of the proposed scheme is presented with generation and error-free transmission of 2.1-Gb/s data on the 63-GHz mm-wave and 21-GHz microwave carriers over 50-km single-mode fiber (SMF-28) without dispersion compensation. The power penalty for both signals is less than 1.0 dB.      

Full-duplex radio-over-fiber system with photonics frequency quadruples for optical millimeter-wave generation

We have experimentally investigated two different schemes (schemes A and B) to generate optical millimeter-wave using optical frequency quadrupling with a Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM), and wavelength reuse for uplink connection in the radio-over-fiber (ROF) systems. For scheme A, only one MZM is used for both the optical millimeter-wave generation and signal modulation. For scheme B, two MZMs are used. In this scheme, one of MZMs is used to generate optical millimeter-wave for frequency quadrupling, and another one is used for signal modulation. In both schemes, at the base station (BS), the optical carrier can be reused to carry upstream data and delivered to the central station (CS). By experimentally comparing the performance of downstream and upstream transmission in two schemes, it can be seen that scheme B can overcome the crosstalk between the upstream and downstream signals, but scheme A cannot. Meanwhile we also show that the millimeter-wave generated in scheme B has better quality and is almost robust to fiber chromatic dispersion.

Design of mm-RoF system based on OFM technique with optimized OFDM modulation

We present the design of a novel bi-directional millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber (mm-RoF) system based on the millimeter-wave generation by optical frequency multiplication (OFM). A dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator is used to generate high-order optical side-modes which beat in the photo-detector, producing a 40-GHz carrier. Over 100-Mb/s orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme is employed. The emphasis is on developing a mathematical model for optimizing optical modulation index to the Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator (IM) for OFDM signal with high peak-to-average power ratio which imposes a limitation on the system bit error rate (BER) performance due to the non-linearity of IM. The theoretical analysis on composite carrier to composite triple beat ratio is performed based on which extension to the system BER formula for quadrature phase shift keying/ multiple quadrature amplitude modulation (QPSK/MQAM) format is presented. The experimental proof is given in a 40-GHz RoF system at a bit rate of up to 280 Mb/s in 100-MHz bandwidth.

Simultaneous Transmission of Wireless and Wireline Services Using a Single 60-GHz Radio-Over-Fiber Channel by Coherent Subcarrier Modulation

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel hybrid subcarrier modulation (H-SCM) technique to generate a spectral-efficient 60-GHz optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) that carries independent 2.5-Gb/s wireless and 10-Gb/s wireline signals using intensity and phase modulation, respectively. The frequency beating components of the 60-GHz channel due to interleaved and imbalanced optical path in H-SCM are numerically analyzed and experimentally measured in terms of timing jitter and amplitude fluctuation.
