Abstract :
Data transmission in a mm-wave optical link incorporating optical SSB modulation via a dual-electrode modulator, has been modeled. Simulations of received eye-diagrams show that the SSB generator is tolerant to errors in phase and power level of the drive signals: /spl plusmn/5/spl deg/ and 3 dB respectively.
