Abstract

Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) radio over fiber (ROF) using dispersive single-mode fiber is susceptible to signal cancellation effect at the output of the uni-travelling carrier photodiode at the base station (BS). The fiber dispersion effect produces different phase shifts of the sidebands of the intensity-modulated lightwave which can produce a cancellation of the output signal when mixed with the optical carrier. In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel scheme of mm-wave ROF which uses microwave modulation at the central station (CS) and frequency upconversion before the BSs. This scheme can overcome fiber dispersion-induced signal cancellation effect.
