Abstract
For the millimetric wave transport over fiber, one of the most simple ways to eliminate the periodic fading due to chromatic dispersion is to use an optical Single Side Band signal. In accordance with this principle, this paper presents highly linear millimetric amplifiers driving a SSB modulator. For the first time, the real-frequency technique has been successfully applied to the design of the matching networks of 26.5–29.5 GHz and 40.9–41.8 GHz amplifiers.
