Abstract

The demand for future broadband mobile access networks with data rates of up to 155 Mbit/s per subscriber will lead to carrier frequencies in the mm-wave range, with favored frequency regimes at 38 GHz and 60 GHz. Optic/millimeter-wave converters (OMC) are key components within the base stations of these fiber-fed cellular mobile communication systems. The function of an OMC can be described by the conversion of incident light power into a high electrical mm-wave output power with a reasonable responsivity at the frequency of interest
