Abstract

This paper introduces two schemes to generate millimeter-wave (mm-wave) BPSK and M-ASK signals in Base Station in Radio over Fiber (RoF) system based on cascaded Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder modulators (DD-MZM). A BPSK-modulated mm-wave RoF system is proposed by controlling the amplitudes of baseband digital signal. Another scheme to generate M-ASK-modulated mm-wave in BS is based on commanding the power of Intermediated Frequency (IF) signal. Both schemes can make the remote local reference signal available in the BS, which makes the system cos-tefficient. The proposed schemes are verified by theoretical derivation and simulation.
