Abstract
High-speed long-haul wireless transmission links are required to meet the demand of mobile backhauling and emergency communications. We experimentally demonstrated ultra-high-speed 432-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexing 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation modulated W-band millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal delivery over a 2-m horn antenna-based (HA-based) 4 × 4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless link, enabled by photonic mm-wave generation and optical/antenna polarization multiplexing. We further achieved the field trial demonstration of 80-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexing quadrature phase shift keying modulated W-band mm-wave signal delivery over a 300-m Cassegrain antenna-based (CA-based) 4 × 4 MIMO wireless link, adopting photonic mm-wave generation, multi-band multiplexing, and optical/antenna polarization multiplexing. To the best of our knowledge, 80 Gb/s or 74.7 Gb/s after removing 7% forward-error-correction overhead is a record for W-band wireless signal delivery over a few hundred meters.
