Abstract :
40GHz radio over fibre (ROF) downlink system is constructed to demonstrate HD video transmission capability using the hybrid optical and wireless system. The dual-sideband optical carrier suppression (DSB-OCS) technique is used in conjunction with the minimum transmission bias (MiTB) to generate optical millimetre wave signal by utilizing a dual electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM). A baseband high definition (HD) video signal is modulated into the system via a second MZM. The signal is distributed to a remote antenna unit (RAU) using a 20km optical fibre, then transmitted wirelessly to a customer premise equipment (CPE) located at 5m away. The results show that the HD video is successfully transmitted over the error free 40GHz ROF downlink system.
