Highly cost-effective radio on fiber transmission system for millimetre-wave road-vehicle communication

摘要

In this paper, a low-cost radio-on-fiber(ROF) system for a 36 GHz band road-vehicle communication system (RVCS)is proposed and demonstrated. Optical components for 10 Gb/s baseband transmission systems, which are becom- ing lower in cost, are used for the proposed system. The signal is transmitted in the optical link in the form of an intermediate frequency(IF)signal of the 5.8 GHz band. The third subhar- monic of a local oscillatory wave(LO)is transmitted simultane- ously with the IF signal from the central station to the remote stations(RSs).
