Ultra-wideband RF Transceiver Based on Radio over Fiber Technique

The architecture of an ultra-wideband, supporting remote radio transceiver and designed using radio over fiber technique is proposed. This system works in the frequency range between 6GHz to 18GHz, and the remote distance reaches more than 200m. The gain values of the uplink and the downlink are 24.7±1dB and 4.8±1.2dB, respectively. The noise figures of both links are less than 20dB, and the phase linear jitters are no more than ±20°. Each module is fabricated using hybrid optoelectronic micro-assembly technology, whose volume is less than 85×40×15mm
