Abstract :
This paper investigates the design of a low power consumption mm-wave radio-over-fiber transmission over 25km SMF and 30m MMF for in-door applications using a dual drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and WDM multiplexers. This architecture includes the generation of both a 60GHz mm-wave signal and a remote local oscillator (LO) for uplink transmission at the residential gateway by utilizing the coexistence of two lasers and a DD-MZM at the central office to create optical carrier suppression modulation. At the receiver gateway, Offset Launch conditions between the SMF and MMF-POF fiber optic cables is used to mitigate the impact of multimodal dispersion found in the multimode optical fiber.
