On the carrier generation and HD signal transmission using the millimeter-wave radio over fiber system

The dual sideband optical carrier suppression (DSB-OCS) technique is employed in the optical carrier generation for 40GHz radio over fiber (ROF) system. A dual electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM) with the minimum transmission bias (MiTB) technique is employed to build the system. The results s...

Description
Summary:The dual sideband optical carrier suppression (DSB-OCS) technique is employed in the optical carrier generation for 40GHz radio over fiber (ROF) system. A dual electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM) with the minimum transmission bias (MiTB) technique is employed to build the system. The results show that, a 40GHz carrier is successfully generated with the amplitude up to −29dBm and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 35dB and a high definition (HD) signal is successfully transmitted using the system. Finally, the bit error rate (BER) measurement is carried out for the system with 1.25Gbps OOK signal showing an error free 40GHz ROF system with almost no penalty between the back to back and 20km fiber for a BER of 10−9.
