Abstract

We present a 60 GHz wireless link fully supported with the optical fiber infrastructure. The architecture that we implement is suitable to provide the efficient wireless/fiber mobile backhaul in access/metropolitan area. Bit error rate (BER) performance below the 7% overhead forward error correction (FEC) limit is presented for transmission of 1.25 Gbps data signals. Ultimately, transmission through fiber-wireless-fiber link is achieved including 4 m of wireless distance and 20 km of standard single mode fiber (SSMF) interfacing the antennas on each side.
