21-GHz single-band OFDM transmitter with QPSK modulated subcarriers

We present a single-band OFDM transmitter that allows the generation of signals with a bandwidth of up to 21 GHz. Transmission experiments over up to 641 km without optical dispersion compensation demonstrate the performance with coherent reception.
