Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we have reported radio over fiber system with 30-tuple millimeter-wave generation using dual parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator and semiconductor optical amplifier. The optimum choice of Mach–Zehnder modulator parameters has resulted into generation of signal lightwave and pump signal with frequency separation of 10f RF. Four wave mixing effect in semiconductor optical amplifier results into 30-tuple millimeter-wave signal. The proposed scheme is applicable to radio over fiber system with multiple base stations. The multiple number of frequencies such as 50 GHZ, 100 GHz, and 150 GHz have been generated using 5 GHz radio frequency only. NRZ data at 2.5 Gbps was modulated and successfully transmitted via optical fiber. The impact of injection current on the sideband ratio and BER is investigated. The proposed scheme confirms quality reception of demodulated signal at a transmission distance of 20 km.
