RESUMO
This Letter presents a V-band gapless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) RoF system at 60 GHz employing a power detector to support vector signal down-conversion. Additional RF tone is generated and transmitted from a central station to replace the local oscillator at a wireless receiver for power detector down-conversion. To enhance the spectrum efficiency, the gap between the OFDM signal and the RF tone is not needed. However, the down-converted signal will suffer signal-to-signal interference (SSBI). In this Letter, we propose and successfully employ a novel Volterra nonlinear compensation to mitigate SSBI, resulting in a 22% data rate improvement with a bit-loading algorithm.
RESUMO
This paper proposes a 2x2 MIMO OFDM Radio-over-Fiber scheme based on optical subcarrier multiplexing and 60-GHz MIMO wireless transmission. We also schematically investigated the principle of optical subcarrier multiplexing, which is based on a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM). In our simulation result, combining two MIMO OFDM signals to drive DP-MZM gives rise to the PAPR augmentation of less than 0.4 dB, which mitigates nonlinear distortion. Moreover, we applied a Levin-Campello bit-loading algorithm to compensate for the uneven frequency responses in the V-band. The resulting system achieves OFDM signal rates of 61.5-Gbits/s with BER of 10(-3) over 25-km SMF transmission followed by 3-m wireless transmission.
