Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a full duplex dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing radio-over-fiber (DWDM-ROF) system for transmitting 75-GHz W-band frequency multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) signals with 12 Gbps downstream and 6 Gbps upstream. The downstream transmitting terminal is based on a three-channels sextupling-frequency scheme using an external modulation of a distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) and dual drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) for carrying downstream signals. MIMO-OFDM algorithms effectively compensate for impairments in the wireless link. Without using costly W-band components in the transmitter, a 12 Gbps downstream transmission system operation at 75 GHz is experimentally validated. For the downstream transmission, a power penalty of less than 3 dB was observed after a 50 km single mode fiber (SMF) and 4 m wireless transmission at a bit error rate (BER) of 3.8×10 −3 . For the upstream transmission, we use a commercially available 1.5 GHz bandwidth reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) to achieve 6 Gbps upstream traffic for 16 QAM-OFDM signals. A power penalty of 3 dB was observed after a 50 km SMF transmission at a BER of 3.8×10 −3 . The frequency of the local oscillator is reduced due to the frequency sextupling scheme. The cost of the proposed system is largely reduced.
