An end-to-end 5G fiber wireless A-RoF/IFoF link based on a 60 GHz beamsteering antenna and an InP EML

An IFoF/V-band link is experimentally presented in a 100MBd QPSK downlink transmission across 7km fiber by a high-power EML and over-the-air by 60GHz beamforming antenna with 32-radiating elements, comprising the first demonstration of a cost-effective end-to-end directional Fiber-Wireless link for dense 5G millimeter-wave networks.
