Abstract :
The optical generation and transmission of microwave radio signals is important for future broadband wireless communications. For the first time, bit error ratio measurements were carried out successfully in optical multichannel and single channel transmission experiments at radio frequencies of 12 GHz and 60 GHz, respectively.
