Abstract :
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple and cost-effective bi-directional radio-over-fiber (RoF) system for simultaneous transmission of downstream baseband, microwave (MW) and millimetre-wave (MMW) signals based on a single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). Upstream data transmission is realized by re-modulation of the downstream signals.
