Abstract

The 60-GHz band wireless link using microwave photonics technologies for gigabit wireless applications is presented. The microwave photonic frequency upconverter utilizing the fiber-optic wavelength conversion is adopted as a method for the wireless downlink and the seamless integration of wired and wireless networks. The proposed system shows the spurious-free dynamic range of 81.2 dBmiddotHz^2/3. The optically generated carrier at 62.75 GHz has the phase noise of -73.8 dBc/Hz at a 10-kHz offset. The system performance is optimized by controlling optical parameters for error-free transmission. Error-free transmission of the 1.25-Gb/s data carried in 62.75 GHz is achieved for 20-km fiber transmission between the central station and the remote base stations (BSs) including 1-m aerial transmission between the BSs and the customer unit using horn antennas.
