Abstract
Self-interference and chromatic dispersion are two main limiting factors that influence the recovery of the signal of interest (SOI) in in-band full-duplex (IBFD) radio-over-fiber (RoF) links. An ultrawideband photonic-assisted approach to radio-frequency (RF) self-interference cancellation (SIC) with high-speed SOI recovery and fiber transmission capability is proposed. The key to achieve the above optimum performances in a compact system is the combined use of fiber dispersion induced RF time delay and optical carrier phase-shifted double sideband (CPS-DSB) modulation. A high precision and tunable time delay matching between the reference signal and the SI signal can be achieved by dispersion induced RF time delay. Meanwhile, the equal amplitude, phase reversal, and dispersion-induced SOI power fading compensation conditions are satisfied simultaneously by manipulating the optical carrier phase of the CPS-DSB signal. For 25 km fiber transmission, 30 dB cancellation depth over 2.7 GHz bandwidth, 160 Mbit/s 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) SOI recovery, and good immunity to fiber dispersion are experimentally demonstrated. In addition, the proposed scheme facilitates multipath SIC by implementing an array of tunable lasers (TLs) with a shared electro-optic modulator at the reference branch.
