Abstract :
A novel fiber RF antenna technology is proposed. With the coaxial structure, optical waveguide, surface plasmon waveguide and radio frequency waveguide are combined together. The modulation of the antenna received radio frequency signal on optical carrier is implemented based on the surface plasmon polaritons.
