Description
Summary:Access infrastructure combining fiber optic and millimeter-wave wireless technologies can provide the necessary broadband access required by convergence of wireless and wired networks. Optical millimetre-wave generation using upconversion is considered a cost-effective solution in radio over fiber systems. In this paper we propose a frequency multiplication technique using two Mach-Zehnder in parallel. The generated optical signal is single sideband which minimizes fiber dispersion impairments. The attainable transmission distance is assessed for 2.5 Gbit/s data rate.
