Millimeter- and Terahertz-Wave Over Fiber Technologies for High-Speed Communications and Non-Telecom Applications

摘要

Millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave technologies are promising solutions for high-speed wireless communication as well as nondestructive imaging due to its high frequency (short wavelength) nature. In the study, we propose and demonstrate high-speed wireless communication in millimeter- and terahertz-wave bands adopted by advanced optical fiber communication technologies: combination of a radio over fiber (RoF) manner for generation of the signals and a high-speed digital signal processing implemented in a receiver. The RoF technique is also capable for a local-oscillator signal transport over the fiber to the remote sites. Fiber-remoted distributed radar system is also discussed in the paper.
