Channel measurements for a optical fiber-wireless transmission system in the 75–110 GHz band

We report on measured optical fiber W-band wireless channel characteristics such as frequency response, channel loss and fading, directivity, channel capacity and phase noise. Our proposed system performs a sextuple frequency up-conversion after 20 km of fiber transmission, followed by a W-band wireless link. Our experimental measurements are intended to provide engineering rules for designing hybrid multi-gigabit W band transmission links.
