Abstract
The article proposes a novel scheme for full-duplex radio-over-fiber transmissions with frequency-octupling millimeter-wave and wavelength reuse. In this scheme, the base station is simplified greatly as there is no laser, and the uplink millimeter-wave signal is down-converted to a low frequency using a 60-GHz local oscillator, which is optically obtained from the downlink signal. The scheme can utilize optical power efficiently, and thus, a cost-effective radio-over-fiber system is achieved. Transmission performance for both down- and uplink data are theoretically analyzed and investigated by simulation; results show that the performance of the system is not sensitive to fiber dispersion.
