Full duplex 60 GHz millimeter wave transmission over multi-mode fiber

New wireless subscribers are signing up at an increasing demand of more capacity for ultra-high data rate transfers at speeds more than 1 Gbps, while the radio spectrum is limited. Millimeter wave communication system offers a unique way to resolve these problems. In this paper, the performance of a full duplex transportation system is reported for 1.5 Km of multi-mode fiber length for a sample 10 Gbit/s pseudo random sequence data, with quadrature amplitude modulation mapping and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation with 60 GHz RF and coherent 1550 nm optical carrier. The analysis and simulation results show that the system´s quality of service depends on nonlinearity of electro optical modulator, dispersion and signal attenuation impairment of the multi-mode fiber cable.
