Abstract :
Summary form only given. We demonstrate a 35.5-39.5 GHz full-duplex fiber-radio access network, featuring three WDM carriers in the downstream and a single carrier in the upstream. Each downstream wavelength carries three 155-Mbit/s BPSK SCM channels, while upstream there is a 20-Mbit/s BPSK RF channel. The mm-wave signals in the down- and upstream fiber links are unaffected by chromatic dispersion. The network demonstration incorporates 40 km of standard single-mode optical fiber and three 5-m radio cells.
