Cancellation of the signal fading for 60 GHz subcarrier multiplexedoptical DSB signal transmission in nondispersion shifted fiber usingmidway optical phase conjugation

In millimeter-wave (mm-wave) optical double sideband (DSB) signal transmission systems, the received radio frequency (RF) power fades periodically because of the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and the self-phase modulation (SPM) of optical fibers. In this paper, cancellation of the signal fading by using midway optical phase conjugation in mm-wave subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) optical DSB signal is analyzed. Fading-free 60 GHz mm-wave optical DSB signal transmission over 100 km-long nondispersion shifted single-mode fiber at 1550 nm by using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) optical phase conjugator (OPC) in the midway of optical link is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Finally, the degradation factor of the OPC system is also discussed     

Generation of frequency-doubling mm-wave signal using a Mach–Zehnder modulator with three arms to overcome fiber chromatic dispersion

We propose a novel method to generate optical frequency-doubling mm-wave signal by using a three-arm Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) for radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. Since the optical carrier and its two 2nd-order sidebands are dominant, the 2nd-order harmonic in the photocurrent gets maximal. When the optical mm-wave signal is transmitted in standard single-mode fiber (SSMF), there is no time shift of code edges because the data signal is only carried by the optical carrier. The 2nd-order harmonic in the photocurrent consists of two beating products, so it experiences a periodical fading effect when the optical mm-wave signal is transmitted in SSMF. However, if a proper direct-current (DC) bias is applied to the data modulation arm in the MZM architecture to adjust the position of the fading nodes, the degradation on the photocurrent can be avoided. A RoF link is built based on the novel scheme by simulation, and the transmission performance of the proposed scheme is presented. The eye diagram still keeps open and clear even after 40 km transmission. Simulation results prove our theoretical analysis.     

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.     

Fiber Dispersion Influence on Transmission of the Optical Millimeter-Waves Generated Using LN-MZM Intensity Modulation

We have theoretically investigated the transmission performance of the optical millimeter-waves (mm-waves) generated using intensity modulation via a Mach-Zehnder modulator, with the double and single sidebands (DSB and SSB) and optical carrier suppression (OCS) schemes. According to our theoretical analysis, fiber chromatic dispersion leads to fading effect and time shifting of the codes; therefore, signals are greatly degraded. Of all signals, DSB optical mm-wave suffers from both the fading effect and the time shifting of the codes. However, the optical mm-waves generated by SSB and OCS schemes are immune to the fading effect, while the time shifting of the codes limits their transmission distance. Experimental and simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis.

Mitigation of Signal Distortions Using Reference Signal Distribution With Colorless Remote Antenna Units for Radio-Over-Fiber Applications

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a bidirectional radio-over-fiber (ROF) system using a reference signal distribution. In order to minimize the radio-frequency (RF) signal attenuation as well as limit the transmit power to moderate levels, small cell size, or picocell is used in the ROF system. This will result in the need of many base stations (BSs) to provide sufficient network coverage. Because of this, colorless remote antenna unit (RAU) with optical carrier generated and distributed from the head end (HE) is employed. Experimental results show that error-free signal transmission and remodulation using downstream differential phase shift keying (DPSK) and upstream on-off keying (OOK) is achieved in a 20-km reach ROF system. Experimental characterization of the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based remodulation unit is also performed. Numerical simulation is performed to compare the proposed scheme with several conventional optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) schemes, including double sideband (DSB), optical carrier suppression (OCS), and single sideband (SSB). Results show that the proposed scheme could be a potential candidate to mitigate signal distortions due to signal fading and code time shifting.

Millimeter-wave broad-band fiber-wireless system incorporating baseband data transmission over fiber and remote LO delivery

We present the first demonstration of a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) broadband fiber-wireless system which incorporates baseband data transmission in both the downstream (622 Mb/s) and upstream (155 Mb/s) directions. The local oscillator (LO) required at the remote antenna base station for up- and downconversion to/from the mm-wave radio frequency (RF) is delivered remotely via a modulation scheme that is tolerant to the effects of fiber chromatic dispersion on the detected LO carrier power. The technique employs a single dual electrode modulator located at the central office (CO) and the data and an RF signal at a frequency equal to half the LO frequency, are applied simultaneously to the device. The modulation scheme was optimized as a function of the modulator operating conditions. Simultaneous bidirectional radio transmission in the mm-wave fiber-wireless network was implemented using specially designed mm-wave diplexers located at the base station (BS) and customer unit, and a single Ka-band printed antenna array at the BS operating simultaneously in transmit and receive mode. Error-free data transmission was demonstrated for both down(34.8 GHz) and uplinks (37.5 GHz) after 20 km of single-mode optical fiber and a bit error rate (BER) of 10/sup -6/ was achieved after the inclusion of a 2-m radio link.     

The influence of fiber dispersion on the transmission performance of a quadruple-frequency optical millimeter wave with two signal modulation formats

This paper reports investigations of the transmission performance of a 40 GHz dual-tone optical millimeter (mm) wave by quadrupling a radio-frequency local oscillator via a single dual-electrode Mach–Zehnder modulator based on the transmission function of the dispersive fiber. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that, although the fiber chromatic dispersion does not cause a fading effect on the optical mm wave with the two signal modulation formats, the bit walk effect caused by the time shift of the sidebands due to fiber dispersion limits its transmission distance as the signal is modulated on the two tones. The limitation of transmission distance caused by the bit-walk effect can be overcome if the signal is modulated on only one of its two tones, and, in this way, the transmission distance is greatly extended. Moreover, the dual-tone data modulation format is more suitable for a radio-over-fiber link with transmission distance less than 40 km owing to the good signal performance and ease of implementation, while single-tone data modulation can be applied for a longer fiber link, even up to 120 km.
