Abstract: | A new method for generating optical microwave mixing based on the optical phase modulation and the fiber chromatic dispersion is further investigated. A theoretical approach based on the analysis of the optical field spectrum has lead to the evaluation of the mixing power and optimal fiber lengths of 60-GHz radio-over-fiber (RoF) networks. Results have shown adaptable fiber lengths to match the network specifications. |
