Abstract
We propose a filterless full-duplex radio-over-fiber system based on polarization multiplexing and demonstrate the generation of an 80 GHz millimeter wave using two Mach–Zehnder modulators. By adjusting the polarization direction, we could generate an 80 GHz frequency millimeter-wave signal and restore the original pure light carrier, providing a light source for the uplink. The simulation results show that the 80 GHz millimeter-wave signal was obtained with a 23.48 dB radio-frequency sideband suppression ratio. Furthermore, we showed that the proposed scheme is relatively flexible and free from the limitation of filter fixed bandwidth in addition to being simple and economical.
