Abstract

We have proposed and demonstrated a novel radio-over-fiber (ROF) architecture by using only one phase modulator and one optical filter to generate DWDM optical millimeter (mm) signals and realize wavelength reuse for upstream data connection. There is no additional laser source for the upstream data generation in the base station and no dc-bias controller for phase modulator. By this method, we simplify the configuration of the DWDM ROF system and reduce the cost of the system.
