Fibre-optic link architecture for microwave subcarrier transmission and reception

摘要

A novel fibre-optic system using subcarrier transmission and reception of microwave signals is demonstrated. Error free transmission of a 50 Mbit/s amplitude shift keyed signal over 9 and 16 GHz microwave subcarriers is demonstrated for received optical powers /spl ges/-30.5 and -28.5 dBm, respectively.
