A WDM-PON-Compatible System for Simultaneous Distribution of Gigabit Baseband and Wireless Ultrawideband Services With Flexible Bandwidth Allocation

In this paper, a novel and simple scheme to realize flexible access for gigabit wireline and impulse radio ultrawideband (IR-UWB) wireless services is proposed. The UWB signals are generated by multi-carrier upconverting and reshaping the baseband signals. The proposed system was experimentally demonstrated with the performances of 2.0-Gb/s data in both baseband and UWB formats after 46-km single mode fiber transmission and further 0.5-m wireless for UWB data. The flexibility of the system is confirmed by investigating the system performance at different data rates including 1.0 and 1.6 Gb/s. Optical wavelength independency and data-rate variability of UWB signal generation makes the system attractive for potential wireline and wireless applications in existing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)-passive optical network (PON) systems.
