Abstract :
The paper will discuss architectures for providing broadband wireless access using optical fibre signal transport systems. Recent advances in microwave modulated optical signal generation using optical phase lock loops and fibre grating lasers and in signal detection using optically controlled heterostructure phototransistors will also be described.
