Abstract :
A high capacity full-duplex millimeter-wave fiber-radio network which incorporates remote up and downconversion is demonstrated. This technique minimizes fiber dispersion-induced phase noise, allowing higher-order modulation formats to be incorporated which increase network capacity and spectral efficiency. Remote up and downconversion also enables lower cost components to be employed throughout the network.
