Fiber optic millimeter-wave generation and bandwidth efficient data transmission for broadband mobile communications in the 60 GHz-band

Experiments on the optical generation of low-phase noise millimeter-wave signals and 140 Mbit/s-data transmissions are reported. The 62.5 GHz millimeter-wave carrier is remotely generated by heterodyning the signals of semiconductor lasers at an optic/millimeter-wave converter.
