A simple frequency up-conversion scheme for a 60 GHz RoF system with remodulation

Abstract

The latest technology that is in step with the growing demand on communication networks is the millimeter wave (MMW) technology that works in the 60 GHz band in radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. In this paper, a 60 GHz RoF system with a simple frequency up-conversion scheme is investigated such that it can cover greater fiber distances without dispersion compensation. Re-modulation at the base station is also taken care of by this system architecture. A simulation model has been generated and tested for performance of the proposed system using the Optisystem software.
