Abstract :
For the first time to our knowledge, we demonstrate a transmission of 37 channels a 64 quadratic-amplitude-modulation (QAM)-coded high-definition television (HD-TV) signal over a fiber-optic millimeter-wave link. The 60-GHz upconverter/downconverter is implemented based on a Gunn oscillator and a nonradiative dielectric waveguide. For the remote delivery of 37 channels of HD-TV signal through 20 km of single-mode fiber, we use a laser diode operating at 1554 nm and an electroabsorption modulator. We evaluate the performances of HD-TV by measuring error vector magnitude and confirm transmission qualities by observing video contents coded with moving picture expert group-2 (MPEG-2).
