Abstract
The performance of wireless signal generation and detection at
millimeter-wave frequencies using baseband optical means is analyzed and
experimentally demonstrated. Multigigabit wireless signal generation is
achieved based on all-optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) and photonic upconversion. The received wireless signal is optically
modulated and detected using digital coherent detection. We present a
theoretical model, ultimate performance limitations based on simulations as
well as experimental validation of the proposed architecture. In order to
demonstrate the RF scalability and bit-rate transparency of our proposed
approach, we experimentally demonstrated generation and detection in the 60
GHz and 75–110 GHz band of an all-optical OFDM quadrature phase shift
keying, with two and three subcarriers, for a total bit rate over
20 Gb/s.
