Wireless Extension for 2.5 Gbit/s GPON

We report on a coherent RoF architecture for connecting multiple ONUs in a GPON network via a 71–76 GHz E-band wireless link to the OLT. Novel coherent photonic mixer (CPX) modules providing up to +17 dBm RF output power in the E-band are used for direct optic-to-RF conversion.
