Abstract

We propose a multi-band radio over fiber system compatible with wired and 60GHz band wireless transmission by implementing two-band modulation with a single Mach-Zehnder modulator. In this paper, broadband millimeter wave at 60 GHz band, which is compliant with the ECMA 387 standard, is generated by photodetection after 25 km long optical fiber transmission. Furthermore, baseband transmission, which feeds up the requirement of fiber-to-the-Home, has been realized simultaneously.
