Abstract :
Simplified optical interfaces for antenna base-stations in full duplex millimeter-wave fiber-wireless systems are realized by reusing the optical carrier used in the downstream transmission, for upstream data transmission. Results from an experimental full duplex link operating at 34-38 GHz with a 155 Mb/s BPSK data stream over 10 km of optical fiber are presented
