Abstract :
A simple method for distribution of radio-over-fiber millimeter-wave signals for gigabit wireless access is presented. By heterodyning two free running and independent lasers, the millimeter-wave carrier can be freely adjusted. The system complexity is shifted to the demodulator in the mobile unit, where envelope detection and square law detection receivers are studied. Transmission experiments prove this simple scheme to provide broadband multimedia services with decent bit error rates.
