Generation of WDM RoF signals utilizing an EAM-based multi-channel photonic frequency upconverter

Summary form only given, as follows. Generation of wavelength division multiplexing radio-over-fiber signals utilizing a multi-channel photonic frequency upconverter using an electro-absorption modulator was investigated. Eight WDM optical radio frequency signals were generated simultaneously by mixing eight WDM optical intermediate frequency signals with an electrical local oscillator signal in the EAM. The generated eight channels of WDM optical RF signals showed the variation of receiver sensitivity less than 0.5 dB.
