Title
A Fiber Wireless A-RoF/IFoF Uplink Transmission of up to 0.6 Gb/s User Data Rate Over a 32-Element 60 GHz Beam-Steering Antenna for 5G Fronthaul Networks
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate an uplink transmission of a Fiber Wireless A-RoF/IFoF fronthaul link for 5G networks using a 32-element 60 GHz phased array antenna in the 1-m long wireless channel and 10 km of SMF spool for the optical link. At first, we characterize the link frequency response using a single tone measurement and perform a dynamic characterization using an 100Mbd QPSK, 8PSK and 16-QAM signal, resulting in 200 Mb/s, 300 Mb/s and 400 Mb/s user data rate, meeting the uplink user-rate KPI-requirements for 5G mm wave networks. Beam-steering capabilities for the Fiber Wireless link are shown for a 300 Mbd QPSK transmission and 15 degrees degrees incident angle, showing flexibility for 5G mm Wave networks.
