Abstract :
We describe the first demonstration of a 4 GHz quadrature-modulated, dual-wavelength, wireless-optical system featuring a purpose-designed, ultra-wideband coaxial leaky feeder with vestigial axial-slot coupling. 1.6 Gb/s total data throughput was obtained with error-free end-to-end operation
