Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple and cost-effective bidirectional radio-over-fiber (RoF) system for transmission of downstream multiband signals and upstream data. At the central station (CS), the multiband data consisting of baseband, micro-wave (MW) and millimeter-wave (MMW) signals are generated using only one single-drive x-cut Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), which is driven by a clock signal at radio frequency (RF) port and an electrical data at bias port. Upstream data transmission is realized by re-modulation of filtered frequency-shift-keying (FSK) signal, selected from the multiband signals.
