Abstract

Advances in broadband radio-over-fiber multigbit/s transmission links are presented. An optical double sideband with suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) spectrum is used to generate a mm-wave signal of outstanding performance. One sideband is modulated with baseband data rates of up to 10 Gbps. Transmission experiments prove this modulation scheme to be dispersion tolerant and error free transmission was demonstrated after 40 km of single mode fiber for data rates up to 5 Gbps. The limits of the setup were tested with data rates of 10 Gbps.
