Bit Error Rate and Power Spectrum Measurements of a Millimeter Wave Radio-over-Fiber System

Millimeter wave communication system can serve as a high speed wireless local or personal area network in indoor environments. In this paper, the bit error rate of a 1.25Gbps millimeter wave radio-over-fiber system under different single mode optical fiber lengths is investigated. We also present the RF output power of the photo-detector when millimeter wave frequencies are input into the radio-over-fiber system.
