Abstract
In this paper, we design a self-interference cancellation (SIC) scheme for in-band full-duplex (IBFD) radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems based on wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) architectures. By using a single dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DDMZM), over various bands up to 25 GHz, this proposed SIC system can simultaneously cancel the in-band downlink (DL) self-interference and modulate the recovered uplink (UL) radio frequency (RF) signal. OFDM-RF signals are used to study the cancellation performances of optical SIC system for the first time. Experimental results show more than 32-dB cancellation depth over 250-MHz bandwidth within 1-GHz RF band, as well as 300-MHz within 2.4-GHz and 400-MHz within 5-GHz band. As for 2.4-GHz RF band, 390.63-Mbps 16-QAM OFDM UL signal buried by strong in-band DL OFDM signal is well recovered. For broadband applications, more than 27-dB cancellation depth is achieved over 10 MHz~25 GHz wideband, so that up to 25 GHz RF band can be expanded for this IBFD WDM-RoF system.
