Abstract :
In this paper, a novel modulation scheme that allows broad-band optical data transmission at both baseband and millimeter-wave RF carriers at twice the local-oscillator frequency is investigated. The dispersion-induced carrier suppression may be overcome by properly setting the optical transmitter parameters. Three different configurations for the modulation scheme are modeled and simulation and experimental results are provided. The key parameters of these configurations are optimized in order to achieve the best performance in broad-band heterogeneous millimeter-wave wireless and wireline access networks
