Drop Signal Phase Offset Independent Soft-ROADMs for Point-to-Multipoint 5G Fronthauls

A novel MIMO-based I/Q Crosstalk Mitigation technique, is demonstrated to effectively mitigate soft-ROADM drop RF signal phase-offset and fiber-induced chromatic-dispersion effects. Thus, simplifying the practical implementation of soft-ROADM-based Point-to-Multipoint 5G fronthaul.
