Abstract
A novel and flexible photonics-based down-conversion scheme is proposed for wireless receivers in base stations. It allows simultaneous detection of multiple signals at carriers up to tens of GHz, enabling communications at millimeter waves. Experiments demonstrate the effective down-conversion of Wi-Fi signals at 2.4 and 39.8GHz with EVM<;-43dB.
