Abstract

We propose a converged radio over fiber and wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks (WDM-PON) system compatible with wired and 60 GHz band wireless transmission by implementing two-band modulation with a single Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) behaving as parallel phase modulators. In this paper, the interference between RF and baseband modulations is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The RF modulation impacts to the baseband signal for different RF modulation formats are deeply investigated.
