Spatial Filtering in a Broadband In-Home OFDM Radio-Over-Fiber Network

The spatial filtering in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radio-over-fiber network is proposed to boost its capacity using broadband optical true time delay enabled microwave beam steering. The observed suppression ratio of the spatial filtering is 19.4 dB. The optical delivery and directional wireless transmission of 3.975 Gb/s OFDM data on a 19-GHz microwave carrier is studied. The observed beam directing-induced bit error ratio improvement is more than four orders of magnitude.
