Abstract
This paper proposes an electrical code divided multiplexing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ECDM-OFDM) modulation-based radio-over-fiber (ROF) system at the 60-GHz band. Compared with conventional OFDM ROF system, it can increase the distance of wireless links as well as suppressing the optical beating interference noise in the upstream link. The 4.68 Gb/s ECDM-OFDM signal at 60 GHz with a 25-km fiber and 8-m air transmission is experimentally demonstrated. The wireless distance of the ECDM-OFDM signal has been extended 3 m with the same transmitted power. For the upstream signal, no significant receiver power penalties are observed after transmission.
