Simultaneous Generation of Independent Wired and Wireless Signals Using a Dual-Electrode MZM in ROF System

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel Radio-over-Fiber scheme to simultaneously generate and transmit baseband (BB) and millimeter-wave (MMW) signal by using a single dual-electrode MZM is proposed. By employing this analog ROF signal transmission techniques, highly transparent fiber-wireless networks, which are ideal for multi-standard wireless system operation can be realized.
