100 GHz Ultra-wideband Wireless System for the Fiber to the Antenna Networks

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate an optical ultra-wideband (UWB) (75GHz-110GHz) fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) system using our developed W-band near-ballistic unitraveling-carrier photodiode (NBUTC-PD) based photonic transmitter (PT). 2.5Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s UWB-FTTA systems with 1,024 high split-ratio are demonstrated.
