Abstract :
In this work, a simple remote heterodyne envelope detector scheme is proposed employing an O-SSB scheme for application in a converged E-PON/ 60 GHz scenario. The proposed PON-60GHz wireless system topology (Fig. 1) is discussed and an evaluation of this scheme is experimentally demonstrated including i) an OFDM 60 GHz wireless access system using indoor MMF, ordinary DFB lasers & ii) a 60 GHz wireless PON “bridge” using a VCSEL for the E-PON data. In both cases, the envelope detector scheme proves its robustness against phase/ wavelength variations while it preserves low cost and wavelength tolerance.
