Microwave photonic signal processing techniques and radio-over-fiber transmission demonstration

Abstract Radio-over-fiber (RoF) utilizing microwave photonic signal processing techniques is a powerful solution for the future super-broadband wireless access. In this paper, we review our recent works on photonic processing techniques of microwave signals for RoF applications and experimental demonstration of RoF transmissions. Our works specifically focus on impulse-response ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) pulse generation for UWB-over-fiber systems, photonic vector modulation, novel analog modulation format, multi-service RoF system design and experimental demonstrations.
