Bi-directional mm-wave radio-over-fiber system based on OFM and modulated by OFDM

A novel bi-directional mmRoF system based on OFM is introduced by using DD-MZM as high-order optical side-modes generator and intensity modulator to carry OFDM signals on the optical carrier. Those side-modes beat in PD producing 40 GHz pure local signal and 37.6 GHz OFDM-modulated signal.
