A Novel Scheme for Seamless Integration of ROF With Centralized Lightwave OFDM-WDM-PON System

We have experimentally demonstrated a novel transmission system for seamless integration of ROF with centralized lightwave OFDM-WDM-PON based on an integrated external modulator. At the one of two arms of the integrated external modulator, the optical carrier suppression (OCS) is realized to generate 40–GHz optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and up-converted baseband data signal as wireless signal. In another arm of the integrated external modulator, 16 quadrature amplitude modulation intensity-modulated OFDM signals at 10 Gbit/s are used for downstream transmission as wired signal based on double sideband modulation. By using one intensity modulator (IM), the downstream RF OFDM signal is remodulated for upstream on–off keying (OOK) data at 2.5 Gbit/s because of its downstream RZ shape waveform. The 10-Gbit/s wired signal, 2.5-Gbit/s wireless signal, and 2.5-Gbit/s upstream signal have been transmitted over 20-km single mode fiber (SMF) successfully.

16‐QAM‐Based Highly Spectral‐Efficient E‐band Communication System with Bit Rate up to 10 Gbps

This paper presents a novel 16‐quadrature‐amplitude‐modulation (QAM) E‐band communication system. The system can deliver 10 Gbps through eight channels with a bandwidth of 5 GHz (71‐76 GHz/81‐86 GHz). Each channel occupies 390 MHz and delivers 1.25 Gbps using a 16‐QAM. Thus, this system can achieve a bandwidth efficiency of 3.2 bit/s/Hz. To implement the system, a driver amplifier and an RF up‐/down‐conversion mixer are implemented using a 0.1 µm gallium arsenide pseudomorphic high‐electron‐mobility transistor (GaAs pHEMT) process. A single‐IF architecture is chosen for the RF receiver. In the digital modem, 24 square root raised cosine filters and four (255, 239) Reed‐Solomon forward error correction codecs are used in parallel. The modem can compensate for a carrier‐frequency offset of up to 50 ppm and a symbol rate offset of up to 1 ppm. Experiment results show that the system can achieve a bit error rate of 10^?5 at a signal‐to‐noise ratio of about 21.5 dB.

115 Gbit/s downstream and 10 Gbit/s upstream TWDM-PON together with 11.25 Gbit/s wireless signal utilizing OFDM-QAM modulation

In this work, we propose and investigate a 115 Gbit/s (4 × 28.75 Gbit/s) downstream and 10 Gbit/s upstream time- and wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (TWDM-PON) together with 11.25 Gbit/s wireless broadcasting signal using multi-band orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) modulation within 10 GHz bandwidth. Here, to compensate the power fading and chromatic dispersion in the higher frequency, we utilize a −0.7 chirp parameter Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) for the OFDM signal. Hence, negative power penalties of −0.3 and −0.4 dB in the downstream and broadcasting wireless signals; and power penalty of 0.3 dB in the upstream signal are measured at the bit error rate (BER) of 3.8 × 10⁻³ after 20 km standard single mode fiber transmission without dispersion compensation.

A 60-GHz uniplanar MMIC 4/spl times/ subharmonic mixer

A uniplanar GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit /spl times/4 subharmonic mixer (SHM) has been fabricated for 60-GHz-band applications using an antiparallel diode pair in finite ground coplanar (FGC) waveguide technology. This mixer is designed to operate at an RF of 58.5-60.5 GHz, an IF of 1.5-2.5 GHz, and an LO frequency of 14-14.5 GHz. FGC transmission-line structures used in the mixer implementation were fully characterized using full-wave electromagnetic simulations and on-wafer measurements. Of several mixer configurations tested, the best results show a maximum conversion loss of 13.2 dB over the specified frequency range with a minimum local-oscillator power of 3 dBm. The minimum upper sideband conversion loss is 11.3 dB at an RF of 58.5 GHz and an IF of 2.5 GHz. This represents excellent performance for a 4/spl times/ SHM operating at 60 GHz.

A novel duplex WDM-PON with DPSK modulated downstream and re-modulation of the downlink signal for OOK upstream

We experimentally demonstrate and analyze a 10 Gbit/s full duplex wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) system. A non-return-to-zero differential phase shift keying (NRZ-DPSK) modulation technique is first utilized for downlink direction, and then the downlink signal is re-modulated for the uplink direction using intensity modulation technique of on-off keying (OOK) with a data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel. An effective colorless WDM-PON full duplex transmission system is achieved for the data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel with a channel spacing of 60 GHz over the distance of 25 km with low power penalty.     

Novel full-duplex SSB WDM-RoF system with SLM technique for decreasing PAPR

A novel full-duplex single-sideband (SSB) wavelength division multiplexing radio over fiber (WDM-RoF) system with selected mapping (SLM) technique for decreasing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is proposed in this paper. At the central office (CO), the generated SSB signal carrying 10 Gbit/s 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (16QAM-OFDM) downstream signal with SLM technique is sent to the base station, and 60 GHz SSB optical signal carrying 10 Gbit/s 16QAM-OFDM upstream signal is sent back to CO utilizing the wavelength-reuse technology. Simulation results show the proposed method for PAPR reduction can effectively improve the sensitivity of receiver, and the power penalty of the 16QAM-OFDM downlink (uplink) signal is about 2 dB (3 dB) at BER of 1×10-3 after 42 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) transmission.     

Effect of an applied magnetic field on the performance of a sis receiver near 300 GHz

We have successfully constructed and tested a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) receiver for operation at 265–280 GHz using 1 μm² area Nb?AlO _x ?Nb tunnel junctions fabricated at Stony Brook. The best performance to date is a double sideband (DSB) receiver noise temperature of 129 K at 278 GHz. We find that suppression of the Josephson pair currents with a magnetic field is essential for good performance and a stable DC bias point. Fields as high as 280 gauss have been used with no degradation of mixing performance. We illustrate the improvement in the intermediate frequency (IF) output stability with progressively increasing magnetic fields.     

Multi-Gbit/s 60 GHz Transceiver Analysis Using FDM Architecture and Six-Port Circuit

This paper presents an analysis and validation by advanced system simulation of compact and low-cost six-port transceivers for future wireless local area networks （WLANs） operating at millimeter-wave frequencies. To obtain realistic simulation results, a six-port model based on the measurement results of a fabricated V-band hybrid coupler, the core component, is used. A frequency-division multiplexing scheme is used by introducing four quadrature phase-shift keying （QPSK） channels in the wireless communication link. The data rate achieved is about 4 Gbit/s. The operating frequency is in the 60-64 GHz unlicensed band. Bit error rate （BER） results are presented, and a comparison is made between single-carrier and multicarrier architectures. The proposed wireless system can be considered an efficient candidate for millimeter-wave communication systems operating at quasi-optical data rates.     

Degradation-robust 850-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers for 25Gb/s optical data transmission

Highly efficient fast vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for the 850-nm spectral range, promising for the development of optical interconnections with a data transmission rate of 25 Gbit/s per channel, are fabricated and studied. Lasers with a selectively oxidized current aperture 6 μm in diameter demonstrate multimode lasing with a quantum efficiency of 35–45% and a threshold current of 0.5–0.7 mA in the temperature range 20–85°C. According to the results of small-signal frequency analysis, the maximum modulation frequency of the lasers exceeds 17 GHz, with the rate of its increase with current exceeding 9 GHz/mA^1/2, which provides VCSEL operation at a rate of 25 Gbit/s in the entire working temperature range. Endurance tests for 3000 h did not reveal any sudden degradation of the lasers. The optical power at working point and the threshold current changed relative to that at the beginning of the tests by no more than 5 and 10%, respectively.     

A Dual‐Mode 2.4‐GHz CMOS Transceiver for High‐Rate Bluetooth Systems

This paper reports on our development of a dual‐mode transceiver for a CMOS high‐rate Bluetooth system‐on‐chip solution. The transceiver includes most of the radio building blocks such as an active complex filter, a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) demodulator, a variable gain amplifier (VGA), a dc offset cancellation circuit, a quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator, and an RF front‐end. It is designed for both the normal‐rate Bluetooth with an instantaneous bit rate of 1 Mb/s and the high‐rate Bluetooth of up to 12 Mb/s. The receiver employs a dualconversion combined with a baseband dual‐path architecture for resolving many problems such as flicker noise, dc offset, and power consumption of the dual‐mode system. The transceiver requires none of the external image‐rejection and intermediate frequency (IF) channel filters by using an LO of 1.6 GHz and the fifth order on‐chip filters. The chip is fabricated on a 6.5‐mm² die using a standard 0.25‐μm CMOS technology. Experimental results show an in‐band image‐rejection ratio of 40 dB, an IIP3 of ?5 dBm, and a sensitivity of ?77 dBm for the Bluetooth mode when the losses from the external components are compensated. It consumes 42 mA in receive π/4‐diffrential quadrature phase‐shift keying (π/4‐DQPSK) mode of 8 Mb/s, 35 mA in receive GFSK mode of 1 Mb/s, and 32 mA in transmit mode from a 2.5‐V supply. These results indicate that the architecture and circuits are adaptable to the implementation of a low‐cost, multi‐mode, high‐speed wireless personal area network.     

Photonic Frequency Upconversion Based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

We demonstrate a method of photonic frequency upconversion useful in radio-over-fiber systems, which is based on Brillouin selective amplification. One of the optical sidebands generated from the applied radio-frequency carrier at 10.831GHz is selected and amplified by Brillouin gain. By carrying the 1-GHz intermediate-frequency (IF) signal on the optical carrier and beating them with the amplified sideband, the IF signal of 1 GHz is upconverted to 11.831 GHz. This scheme can also be applied to the IF signal with bandwidth larger than the Brillouin gain bandwidth. The upconverted 11.831-GHz signal has the phase noise of -83.3dBc/Hz at 10-kHz offset. Also, the proposed upconversion scheme shows the spurious-free dynamic range of 89.5 dBmiddotHz^2/3
