Abstract

This paper demonstrates the theory of chromatic dispersion (CD)-induced constellation rotation (CR) in a radio-over-fiber (ROF) link, and a symmetry theory for compensation. A 60 GHz full-duplex ROF system with vector signal transmission using frequency-tripling modulation (FTM) is also proposed. The simulations for both 5 Gbps and 200 Mbps 16 QAM signal transmission show that the CD-induced CR can be entirely overcome due to the proposed method, and the proposed ROF schedule still maintains good performance even after 500 km of 200 Mbps vector signal transmission. Meanwhile, the central station is significantly simplified and cost-effective since only one 15 GHz local oscillator is needed for both the generation of an optical millimeter-wave signal and the carrier of the downlink intermediate-frequency (IF) signal.
