Radio-on-terahertz over fiber system for future mobile fronthauling

摘要

The technology of encapsulating a microwave signal into a terahertz carrier and an optical signal is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. Broad bandwidth terahertz radio can encapsulate existing microwave services, including advanced mobile communication signals, by using photonics technology. The concept of radio-on-terahertz-over-fiber helps to realize the future design of mobile fronthaul links. These links will have seamless connectivity between radio and optical networks because of the low latency of the links, which results from the use of analog signal transmission technology.
