Abstract
Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) systems which act as backbone networks are very promising means of reducing overall costs of 60 GHz WPANs, as well leading to networks with limited intercellular interference. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of two systems that generate Optical Single Side Band (OSSB) OFDM signals at the mm-wave band with and without optical up-conversion. Both systems use a DD-MZM: one is a standard model, whereas the other is a DD-MZM cascaded with a phase modulator (PM). The comparative study presented here also includes practical impairments such as the finite extinction ratio of DD-MZMs.
