Experimental demonstration of high-throughput low-latency mobile fronthaul supporting 48 20-MHz LTE signals with 59-Gb/s CPRI-equivalent rate and 2-μs processing latency

We experimentally demonstrate the transmission of 48 20-MHz LTE signals with a CPRI-equivalent data rate of 59 Gb/s, achieving a low round-trip digital-signal-processing latency of <;2 μs and a low mean error-vector magnitude of ~2.5 % after fiber transmission.
