A Joint Wireless-Optical Front-haul Solution for Multi-user Massive MIMO 5G RAN

We demonstrate a high capacity IF-over-fiber mobile fronthaul solution for multi-user massive MIMO 5G RAN. Using this scheme, a record aggregated radio bandwidth of 25.6 GHz was transmitted on a single optical wavelength over 40 km without fiber chromatic dispersion compensation
