High capacity hybrid fibre-radio field experiments at 60 GHz

Abstract

The results of unidirectional and interactive operating field experiments of hybrid fibre radio transmission systems at 60 GHz are presented. High capacity data signals up to 140 Mbit/s are transported over a terrestrial installed link of 46.2 km standard singlemode fibre and are optically distributed to miniaturised remote antenna units which are serving pico-radio-cells. Furthermore, the impact of polarisation mode dispersion on system performance has been experimentally investigated.
