Transport schemes for fiber-based fronthaul for transporting 60 GHz wireless signals

In this paper, we review our recent work in the area of 60 GHz radio-over-fiber fronthaul links. We compared the different transport schemes incorporating modified double-sideband suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) and optical single sideband with carrier (OSSB) modulation formats to cater for the transport of 60 GHz wireless signals. Our results show that OSSB links exhibits better receiver sensitivity however with trade-offs of requiring larger bandwidth modulators and higher frequency local oscillator.
