mm-Wave Hybrid Photonic Wireless Links for Ultra-High Speed Wireless Transmissions

摘要

Hybrid photonic-wireless transmission schemes in the mm-wave frequency range are promising candidates to enable the multi-gigabit per second data communications required from wireless and mobile networks of the 5th and future generations. Large FCC spectrum allocations for wireless transmission at 71–76GHz and 81–86GHz allow high-bandwidth, long and medium distance point-to-point links.Photonic integration may pave the way to practical applicability of such hybrid links by reduction in complexity, size and – most important – cost.
