Abstract :
60GHz radio coverage is extended using low-cost multipoint-to-multipoint RoF architectures based on optical or electrical splitter. These infrastructures are compared in terms of EVM and real-time signals transmissions between commercial devices working at 3Gbit/s. Finally, improvements based on innovative SiGe photoreceptors are proposed.
