Abstract

In this paper, we present a photonic wireless system operating in the W-Band (75-110 GHz) featuring ultra-high bandwidth as well as simple NRZ-OOK modulation format. By using a cascaded optical RF and data modulation approach on the transmitter side, flexible adjustment of the wireless RF carrier in the W-Band is achieved, while direct electrical to optical conversion with advanced photonic components on the receiver side enables true photonic wireless bridging. In first experiments, data rates up to 10 Gb/s have been experimentally demonstrated.
