Novel Compressed Digital Radio Fronthaul over Photonically-Generated THz Wireless Bridge

Compressed DRoF-based fronthaul links enable cost-effective last-mile wireless coverage. This paper demonstrates a novel system which carries 12 LTE services over both optical fibre and photonically-generated THz wireless links with over 40 dB dynamic range.
