Abstract
We developed an analog optical system-on-package (SoP) transmitter for a 60-GHz-band radio-over-fiber (RoF)
link. The SoP transmitter consisted of an electroabsorption modulator, radio frequency amplifiers, and a bandpass
filter. The 60-GHz RoF wireless link was prepared to measure the performance of the SoP transmitter. The
transmission characteristics of 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (64-QAM) data of the 60-GHz RoF wireless link,
including the SoP transmitter, were investigated by measuring the error vector magnitude (EVM) and signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) with a baseband frequency. The EVM of the 60-GHz RoF wireless link was between 2.25% and 2.80%, and the
SNR was between 27.36 and 29.31 dB from 140 and 770 MHz, at input baseband power of 9 dBm. The noise figure had the minimum of 8.44 dB at 500 MHz. We successfully transmitted
digital community antenna television (CATV) system signals through the 60-GHz RoF wireless link, including the SoP
transmitter. Digital CATV signals of 86 channels could be transmitted through the 60-GHz RoF wireless link, and the
total throughput was found to be 2.61 Gb/s.
