A new 60 GHz photonic radio-over-fiber scheme for multiband OFDM wireless systems

We proposed a new 60 GHz multiband-orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing (MB-OFDM) radio-over-fiber (ROF) system using millimeter-wave (MMW) photonic techniques. A simple optical modulation scheme is developed to generate 60 GHz carrier by the sixth-harmonic term of local oscillator (LO) frequency. Moreover, the experimental setup of proposed system to demonstrate that the wireless MMW photonic MB-OFDM system can transmit data at up to the rate of 480 Mbps and the maximum wireless-transmission distance can reach 3 m.
