For the fronthaul between the baseband unit and the remote radio unit (RRU), radio over fiber (RoF) is promising to replace the Common Public Radio Interface in beyond fifth-generation and the sixth-generation wireless communication systems. The weight, size, and power consumption of the RRU can be greatly reduced, along with easy support for the millimeter-wave band. In this paper, a dual-band RoF link is proposed, where flexible switching between high-frequency (28 GHz) and low-frequency (3.5 GHz) RF channels is realized through polarization control. Single-sideband modulation is performed on 28 GHz signals to avoid periodic power fading during long-distance fiber transmission. By adjusting the DC bias, the third-order intermodulation distortion component in the 3.5 GHz signal is suppressed, and the spur-free dynamic range (SFDR) is improved. Experimental results show a channel isolation of above 43 dB. The link gain of the 28 GHz signal channel is flat, and the SFDR of the 3.5 GHz signal channel can reach ${118.6}\;{\rm{dB\cdot H}}{{\rm{z}}^{4/5}}$. In the case of RF vector signal transmission, the adjacent channel power ratio of the 3.5 GHz signal channel is optimally up to 48 dB, and the error vector magnitude is 2.9%.
