Abstract

This paper reviews the principles and ways to advanced design of an access network with millimeter-wave wireless distribution using Radio-over-Fiber approach. To validate the concept, the results of simulating experiment on transmission of 16-, 64-, 256-, and 1024-position quadrature amplitude modulated RF signals at 15 or 40 GHz through optical distribution network are demonstrated and discussed. It is shown that due to fiber dispersion the standard error vector magnitude limit is achieved when the maximum length of the fiber-optic link is more than 4 times shorter at 40 GHz compared to the transmission at 15 GHz.
