Development of Millimeter-Wave Radio-over-Fiber Technology

摘要

Millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber techno- logy demonstrates the potential for providing wireless broad-band service in the next generation wireless communication system.Optical generation of millimeter-wave signal is one of the most important technologies of millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber system.The virtues and shortcomings of some ways of optical generation of millimeter-wave signal are discussed.Then optical millimeter-wave signal transmission perfor- mance is described.Finally,an overview of the millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber system is given.It is suggested that the millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber technology should be paid more attention,especially for modulators for optical generation of millimeter-wave signal and radio-over-fiber system.
