225m Outdoor W-Band Radio-over-Fiber Link Using an Optical SFP+ Module

Abstract

A W-band radio-over-fiber link based on a commercial SFP+ module is demonstrated, allowing easy integration into existing PON solutions. Without active laser control good RF frequency stability and 225m wireless distance are achieved.

W-band photonic-wireless link with a Schottky diode envelope detector and bend insensitive fiber

“…• complexity of the setup: Gbit/s class W-band wireless transmissions reaching long distances have been performed with high complexity in both the optical and radio frequency (RF) domains; setups with reduced complexity employing envelope detection for (RF) downconversion were suggested [10,16], but only recently [11,17,18] reached distances beyond 10 m wireless transmission. A setup with a passive RF transmitter and a Schottky diode based envelope detector to minimize complexity in the RF domain has been developed [11] and is presented in section 3.…”

1 Gb/s chaotic encoded W-band wireless transmission for physical layer data confidentiality in radio-over-fiber systems

“…In both cases, the link distance is 2 m and the carrier frequency is fixed at W-band (75 -110 GHz). The wireless distance is chosen for validation purposes and laboratory limitations, but W-band links can reach distances of hundreds of meters [20,21]. This work intends to serve as a first step towards a low latency encryption scheme for gigabit wireless links in radio-over-fiber architectures.…”
