Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) systems which act as backbone networks are very promising means of reducing overall costs of 60 GHz WPANs, as well leading to networks with limited intercellular interference. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of two systems that generate Optical Single Side Band (OSSB) OFDM signals at the mm-wave band with and without optical up-conversion. B...

Abstract: Optical single sideband (OSSB) signals are conventionally generated using a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) or by using a single-drive MZM in conjunction with a fibre Bragg grating filter. In this study, the authors propose and mathematically characterise a novel radio over fibre downlink in which an OSSB signal is generated using a single-drive, rather than dual-drive, MZM wi...

conclusions caffeine has a potential role for pain modulation. current evidence on caffeine use for migraine and terminal stage cancer is not well-established. future studies should address the use of caffeine alone for different types of pain with dose escalation and standardization of outcome measurement. evidence acquisition the data on caffeine as an adjuvant therapy or as a main component ...

Last years, Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) or Wavelet Packet Transform based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (WPT-OFDM) have been introduced to wired and wireless communication fields as efficient Multicarrier Modulation (MCM) techniques. The wavelets have interesting features such as flexibility, compatibility and localization in both time and frequency domains with no need to use ...

In this paper, we experimentally study the effects of using low cost optical amplifiers and lasers in multi-format multi-wavelength radio over fiber signals. We analyze the propagation of UMTS, WLAN and WiMAX radio signals in a single channel scenario and study the impact of amplifying the referred radio signals together with amplitude modulated ones, which can be ethernet, in WDM scenario.

Adaptive digital modulation in the optical domain is performed using an integrated optical modulator with a high symbol rate of 10 Gbaud. The optical digital-to-analogue conversion technique that employs an optical IQ modulator and a dual-polarization quadrature-phase-shift-keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is applicable to binary PSK, QPSK, and 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation. Analogue modulat...

In this paper, we carry out a simulation of a Radio over Fiber (RoF) link with VPI Transmission Maker, and Rohde&Schwarz (R&S) equipments. The VPI simulations perform optical path degradations for multiple radio modulation formats without using any specific radio numerical tools, while a Generator and a Vector Analyser are used for radio generation and reception.
