Simultaneous Generation and Transmission of 60-GHz RF and Baseband Signals Employing Only a Simple Single Electrode MZM

Abstract

Employing only a simple single electrode MZM, a novel hybrid access network, which is capable of generating and transmitting RF-vector (2.5-Gb/s QPSK at 60GHz) and baseband signals (1.25-Gb/s OOK) simultaneously, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.
