“…24(a) shows the architecture often employed for achieving Single-step N-tupling, where, in the BS, the output of the laser is employed in a single upconversion step achieved by using a MZM that is driven by a RF signal at f L O Hz. Afterwards, the optical signal is transmitted through the optical fiber and photo-detected in the RAP, where the upconverted photo-detected signal at f R F = N f L O Hz can be retained using an electronic filter, as illustrated later in this section [67]. On the other hand, Fig.…”

“…The interleaver of Fig. 34 then separates the 5ω L O -spaced sidebands, and these sidebands beat during the photodetection in the RAP to generate a frequency-quintupled signal [67]. e) Frequency six-tupling: Frequency six-tupling refers to the technique where the PD's output signal has a carrier frequency that is six times that of the transmitted RF signal.…”

Abstract-A study of advanced upconversion techniques used in radio over fiber (ROF) is provided. With the huge increase in both the number of wireless communication subscribers and the bandwidth required per customer, migrating to higher frequencies, i.e., from lower radio frequency to millimeter-wave carriers, is an essential solution. However, due to the short propagation range of millimeter waves, a large number of radio access points are required for providing reliable coverage, which would increase the infrastructure costs. Hence, the transmission of RF signals between the central (or control) points and radio access points (or remote antenna units) using optical fibers is one of the major access network solutions that have been proposed for future high-bandwidth wireless communication systems. In this paper, we introduce the basics of ROF communication, including optical modulation, the optical channel, and the optical detection techniques. Then we survey the family of advanced optical upconversion techniques that exploit the nonlinearity of the ROF link. Specifically, we describe how optical upconversion can be achieved by exploiting the Mach-Zehnder modulator's nonlinearity, wavelength conversion techniques, or the photodetector's nonlinearity. The wavelength conversion techniques rely on the nonlinearities present in the fiber, in the optical amplifier, or in the electroabsorption modulator.

“…Moreover, an HAN based on an optical fiber infrastructure is future proof for the following aspects: higher data rate, delivery of a multiplicity of high-performance parallel services [9], high quality of service and minimization of the exposure to the electromagnetic field. Several studies have already been carried out on RoF for 60 GHz applications, principally on long-term-related topics [10], [11], such as optical frequency upconversion for millimeter-wave signals generation [12] and high-speed Mach-Zehnder Modulators [13], [14]. From the viewpoint of the HAN market, a RoF system can represent a competitive solution only if it is easy to deploy and the necessary transceivers are low cost and compact.…”

Abstract-Home area networks will have to deal with the future multigigabit wireless systems that are emerging or are under development. These millimeter-wave radio systems achieve data rates up to several Gb/s per channel, but over short distance. So, to expand the radio coverage, we propose to introduce a radio-overfiber (RoF) infrastructure at home. This paper presents a complete study of a RoF system: the 60 GHz radio coverage is extended using a RoF link working at intermediate frequency with two hops in the air. An experimental setup of such an infrastructure has been realized and characterized. A low-cost solution, working at 850 nm, was chosen using multimode fiber and off-the-shelf millimeter-wave and photonic components. Finally, a real-time transmission between two commercial WirelessHD devices working at 3 Gb/s has been carried out.Index Terms-Home area network (HAN), IEEE 802.15.3c, IEEE 802.11ad, optical architecture, optical transducers, radio over fiber (RoF), WirelessHD.

“…The applications and use of the 60 GHz band have been so far well studied and reported in many literatures, e.g. [2]- [4]. Nevertheless, the underexploited higher frequency range from 100 GHz to 300 GHz is becoming a timely relevant research topic due to its capability to offer an even wider bandwidth for even faster gigabit-class wireless access rate.…”
