A novel approach for simultaneous millimeter wave generation and high bit rate data transmission for Radio over Fiber (RoF) systems

We propose a novel method for simultaneous transmission of OC-192 (9.95328 Gbps) digital data and 60 GHz RF generation in a Standard Single Mode Fiber (SSMF) link utilizing Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS). The system comprises of a 1550 nm DFB Laser diode, Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM), 50 km SSMF and Optical receiver. The receiver includes laser diode for optical pump, a regenerator for data retrieval and a RF bandpass filter for RF generation. This system requires minimum number of RF and optical components for the generation of 60 GHz RF. The remotely generated 60 GHz RF signal may be used for wireless transmission of data. The entire link is simulated in Optisystem software to analyze the system performance.
